  1. Firstly, locate the video clip that you would like to embed on your web page. 
  2. On YouTube on the Right sidebar panel > Locate > Embed 
    The embed customize includes movie size / color / related movie 
    Set movie: 425x344
    Color: Blue/Blue 
    Include Related Video: Uncheck 
    Border: Check 
    Enabled delayed cookies: unchecked   
  3. After completing your video setting, select the line of code in the Embed field
  4. CRTL C (Copy)
    Example of the YouTube code.
    <object width="445" height="364">
    <param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hb0mwlS_mJU&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1"></param>
    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
    <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
    <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hb0mwlS_mJU&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
    allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364">
    </embed></object>
  5. Open Dreamweaver > Locate the page you wish to include the YouTube video.
  6. Click the area you wish to include on your active page.
  7. When copying code from other websites, it is normally easier to insert the code directly via the CODE editor in Dreamweaver. Entering the CODE directly on the DESIGN page would simply include the <tags> as active content to be published as COPY on a webpage.
  8. Locate the line in you wish to insert the video script inside the CODE editor for your active page.
  9. CRTL V (Paste) the code.

10.  Preview –
If video does not play – return to step 3
If video plays okay go to step 11

11.  Publish page.
