I'd like to Embed youtube files into my Magix Webmaker website.

You get a little HTML string when you create a Youtube file and you can usually find some way to cut and paste this into your own Web code, to display the video as an embedded file.

If what you had in mind is adding the complete YouTube video player applet into your page, I'm afraid this won't be possible, as the Magix website service doesn't allow for the integration of HTML code. Website Maker provides its own video player applets. So, if you have or can obtain the actual source video in a suitable format, you could upload it to Website Maker and integrate it into your page. This also gives you full control over the video and doesn't turn your website in to free advertisement platform for YouTube or leave a gap if someone decides to delete the video from YouTube. The other option would be to place an external link to YouTube, so the video is displayed on a YouTube page in a new browser window. Not as neat...

Hi, ralftaro and gordon. It's a good idea to insert a Pic in your page linking to YouTube. This way, what do you need a "flash" page in Website Maker for? If you upload all your videos to Magix, your site hosting MBs will be full in a few days. Why to waste space in Magix if you have UNLIMITED space in YouTube? The only way is to insert a Pic in your page linking to your YouTube account... so, what do we need a page in Magix for? You are not alowed to put some HTML, embed Youtube videos, customize your NavBars... Even animated GIFs and SWF and FLV Flash animations will NOT run. Search for a serious ISP that lets you use FTP and you'll be free to do so and other many many things that to fill MBs of no sense Pics and text to finally go to YouTube.

My regards!!
