Why Is Video Hosting Important?
A hosted video simply means that the video has been uploaded to the appropriate website and is ready for you to view. Hosted videos are easily shared through website addresses, and they are also embedded on other websites.
Before you can add a video to the website you are creating, the video must be hosted online through a third-party video hosting service, such as YouTube, Facebook, and Vimeo.
Once a video is online, you need the video's embed code to add to your website. Most video hosting websites create the embed code for you automatically, which you can find under a Share icon. For more help finding the embed code for your video, please refer to the website for the video hosting service.
