Volete incorporare dei video nei vostri post su WordPress? I video danno vita al vostro sito web e sono un ottimo modo per aumentare il coinvolgimento degli utenti.
WordPress consente di incorporare con estrema facilità i video provenienti da siti di video hosting come YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Twitter e molti altri.
In questa guida per principianti, vi mostreremo come incorporare facilmente i video nei post, nelle pagine e nei widget della barra laterale del blog WordPress.
Perché incorporare i video nei post del blog WordPress?
L’aggiunta di video al vostro blog WordPress è un ottimo modo per catturare l’attenzione dei visitatori e aumentare il coinvolgimento e le conversioni.
I video contribuiscono ad aumentare il tempo che gli utenti trascorrono sul vostro sito WordPress e alcuni visitatori potrebbero addirittura preferire la visione di un video alla lettura di un testo scritto.
Qui a WPBeginner, inseriamo i video nei nostri tutorial più popolari su WordPress.
Conviene caricare i video direttamente su WordPress?
È possibile, ma non vi consigliamo di farlo.
La maggior parte dei piccoli blog utilizza account di hosting WordPress condivisi e i video possono occupare molte risorse del server. Se il video riceve molto traffico, è più probabile che il sito si blocchi.
In secondo luogo, si perde il traffico degli utenti di YouTube e di altri siti di hosting video.
YouTube non è solo il più grande sito di video hosting, ma è anche il secondo motore di ricerca più popolare al mondo e il secondo social network più popolare dopo Facebook.
Se non volete caricare i vostri video su YouTube, potete utilizzare altre piattaforme come Vimeo, Jetpack Video, Wistia e altre ancora.
Per maggiori dettagli, consultate il nostro post sul perché non dovreste mai caricare un video nella libreria multimediale di WordPress.
Detto questo, vi mostriamo come incorporare i video nei post di WordPress, passo dopo passo. Utilizzate i link rapidi qui sotto per passare direttamente al metodo che desiderate utilizzare:
Video tutorial
Se preferite le istruzioni scritte, continuate a leggere.
Metodo 1: incorporare i video nei post e nelle pagine del blog WordPress utilizzando l’editor di blocchi
WordPress dispone di un’ottima funzione chiamata auto-embed, che consente al vostro sito web di ottenere automaticamente il codice di incorporamento dai servizi di hosting video più diffusi, come YouTube, Vimeo, ecc.
Tutto ciò che dovete fare è incollare l’URL del video nell’editor di WordPress.
Ad esempio, è possibile copiare l’URL di YouTube di un video che si desidera incorporare.
Quindi, modificate il post o la pagina di WordPress in cui volete aggiungere il video e incollate semplicemente l’URL nell’area del contenuto.
Non appena si incolla l’URL del video, WordPress recupera il codice di incorporamento e visualizza il video di YouTube nell’editor dei contenuti.
Ora è possibile salvare il post facendo clic sul pulsante “Aggiorna” o “Pubblica” per vedere il video incorporato nel post live.
Non è stato facile?
Dopo aver aggiunto il video, è possibile personalizzarne le impostazioni facendo clic sul video nell’editor e apportando le modifiche dalla barra degli strumenti a comparsa.
È possibile regolare la larghezza del video, cambiare l’allineamento e altro ancora. È inoltre possibile aggiungere una didascalia e preservare il formato del video sui dispositivi mobili.
WordPress è in grado di eseguire l’incorporamento automatico solo per i servizi video inseriti nella lista bianca. Per gli altri siti web, dovrete comunque procurarvi il codice di incorporamento e incollarlo nei vostri post.
Ecco un elenco di servizi video white-listed per l’incorporamento automatico in WordPress:
- Amazon
- Animoto
- Cloudup
- CollegeHumor
- Segnale di folla
- Dailymotion
- Flickr
- Hulu
- Imgur
- Issuu
- Kickstarter
- Meetup.com
- Mixcloud
- ReverbNation
- Screencast
- Scribd
- Slideshare
- SmugMug
- Alcune cartoline
- SoundCloud
- Ponte degli altoparlanti
- Spotify
- TED
- Tumblr
- VideoPress
- Vimeo
- WordPress.tv
- YouTube
Se si desidera aggiungere un video da un sito web al di fuori di questo elenco, è necessario disporre del codice HTML completo per il video.
È sufficiente copiare il codice HTML fornito dal sito web del video e incollarlo nel blocco ‘HTML’ dell’editor.
Per saperne di più, consultate la nostra guida per principianti su come modificare l’HTML nell’editor di codice di WordPress.
Metodo 2: incorporare i video in WordPress utilizzando il vecchio editor classico
Se si utilizza ancora il vecchio editor classico di WordPress, è possibile incorporare i video nello stesso modo.
È sufficiente copiare l’URL da un servizio di hosting video come YouTube e incollarlo nell’editor. Se si utilizza l’editor visuale, si vedrà un’anteprima del video.
Tuttavia, non sarà possibile utilizzare la regolazione della larghezza e altre opzioni che si possono utilizzare nell’editor di blocchi di WordPress Gutenberg.
Assicurarsi di fare clic sul pulsante “Aggiorna” o “Pubblica” per rendere effettive le modifiche.
Metodo 3: Come incorporare i video nei widget della barra laterale di WordPress
Proprio come un post o una pagina di WordPress, è possibile incorporare i video nei widget della barra laterale di WordPress.
Basta andare su Aspetto ” Widget nell’area di amministrazione di WordPress e fare clic sull’icona “+” per aggiungere un nuovo blocco.
Successivamente, cercare “Video” nella barra di ricerca.
Quindi, è possibile fare clic sul blocco relativo al tipo di video che si desidera aggiungere. Ad esempio, YouTube, Vimeo, TED e altri ancora.
Successivamente, è necessario incollare l’URL del video nella casella, fare clic sul pulsante “Incorpora” e il video verrà automaticamente aggiunto all’area del widget.
A questo punto, tutto ciò che dovete fare è cliccare sul pulsante “Aggiorna” e il widget video sarà ora attivo sul vostro sito WordPress.
Ora è possibile visitare il sito web per vedere il video in diretta. Le dimensioni del video verranno scalate automaticamente in base alle dimensioni dell’area del widget.
Per saperne di più, consultate la nostra guida su come aggiungere e utilizzare i widget in WordPress.
Metodo 4: Utilizzare i plugin di inclusione video di WordPress per incorporare i video
Per impostazione predefinita, non è necessario utilizzare un plugin per incorporare i video in WordPress. Tuttavia, potreste voler utilizzare dei plugin per migliorare l’esperienza di visualizzazione dei video sul vostro sito web.
Di seguito sono riportati alcuni plugin di WordPress che potreste voler provare.
1. Smash Balloon YouTube Feed Pro
Smash Balloon YouTube Feed Pro è il miglior plugin per la galleria video di YouTube per WordPress, apprezzato da oltre 40.000 proprietari di siti web.
Permette di incorporare automaticamente tutti i video del vostro canale YouTube in un formato di galleria personalizzabile. Importa automaticamente i nuovi video, combina i feed, può aggiungere funzionalità di live streaming, incorporare una playlist di YouTube e altro ancora.
Inoltre, include visualizzazioni, like, condivisioni, commenti e reazioni, che possono contribuire ad aumentare la vostra riprova sociale.
È disponibile una versione gratuita del plugin per il feed di YouTube, che potete utilizzare per aggiungere semplicemente il feed del vostro canale YouTube a WordPress.
Per saperne di più, consultate la nostra guida su come mostrare gli ultimi video del canale YouTube in WordPress.
È inoltre possibile utilizzare il plugin Smash Balloon YouTube feed con il plugin Social Wall, che combina tutti i contenuti dei social media di Facebook, Instagram, Twitter e YouTube in un’unica pagina di WordPress.
2. Smash Balloon TikTok Feed Pro
TikTok Feed Pro, sempre di Smash Balloon, è un potente plugin che consente di incorporare facilmente i video di TikTok in qualsiasi punto del sito WordPress.
Quando pubblicate un post sul vostro canale TikTok, questo viene automaticamente inviato al vostro sito web e visualizzato in una splendida galleria di video. È possibile scegliere tra diversi layout di feed, tra cui griglia, carosello, elenco e muratura.
L’editor di feed drag and drop offre anche un controllo completo sull’aspetto del feed di TikTok. È possibile impostare il numero di video da mostrare e personalizzare i colori, lo stile, la spaziatura e altro ancora.
Inoltre, è dotato di utili strumenti di moderazione per filtrare i video in base a una parola o a un hashtag. Grazie a questa funzione, è possibile creare feed video curati per diverse parti del sito web, per indirizzare contenuti specifici.
Esiste anche una versione gratuita del plugin Feeds for TikTok che si può utilizzare per aggiungere un semplice feed di TikTok in WordPress.
Per maggiori dettagli, consultate la nostra guida su come incorporare i video di TikTok in WordPress.
3. Galleria Envira
Envira Gallery è il miglior plugin per gallerie di WordPress sul mercato. È possibile utilizzarlo per creare facilmente gallerie fotografiche in WordPress. È inoltre dotato di un addon per i video che consente di visualizzare gallerie video belle e reattive.
È possibile creare gallerie di video da YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, DailyMotion e altro ancora. È anche possibile visualizzare le playlist di YouTube dal proprio account personale e avviare i video di YouTube a un determinato orario.
Envira è facilissimo da usare. È sufficiente inserire l’URL del vostro video di YouTube e il sistema intelligente prenderà automaticamente le miniature del video per voi.
È disponibile una versione gratuita di Envira Gallery. Tuttavia, è necessario il plugin premium per accedere alle funzionalità delle gallerie video.
4. Barra di iscrizione a YouTube
YouTube Subscribe Bar mostra un pulsante di iscrizione a YouTube sotto il video YouTube incorporato in WordPress. Inoltre, recupera il numero di iscritti a YouTube per aggiungere una prova sociale e incoraggiare più utenti a iscriversi al vostro canale.
L’abbiamo creato inizialmente per promuovere il canale YouTube di WPBeginner su questo sito. Molti dei nostri utenti ci hanno chiesto di condividere il modo in cui lo abbiamo fatto, così abbiamo deciso di rilasciarlo come plugin gratuito.
5. Caricamento pigro per i video
Lazy Load for Videos risolve il problema del caricamento degli script di incorporamento dei video da siti web esterni, che ha un impatto sulla velocità di caricamento e sulle prestazioni della pagina web.
Invece, carica il codice embed solo quando l’utente fa clic sul pulsante play.
Tra l’altro, questo plugin non è necessario se si utilizza il plugin Smash Balloon YouTube Feed, perché ha una cache integrata e un caricamento ritardato per il lettore video.

Thanks for the block editor tutorial. I’ve been using Elementor until now and here’s a widget where you just put the URL of the video and it worked. But it’s good to know how it works in the block editor in case the website owner doesn’t want Elementor for some reason.

When I upload a video using the blocks wordpress tells me I must upgrade my account for $96/year. I’ve been using wordpress since 2012. What gives?

Hi, In case others may have the same problem I did with embedding a video from Rumble, after many trying many different things, I figured out how to do it by accident lol.
If it is your own video, use the Embed Code but only the link within the src= portion.
If it is not your video, using the “EMBED” button of the video, copy and use the “Embed IFRAME URL” link provided in the Embed pop dialog.
WPBeginner Support says
Thanks for sharing that for users using that service

Hi. i am using embeds block to embed my YouTube video into the post. In the edit post window, I can see the video is getting embedded/I can see the preview of the video. But, once i publish the post or preview it, I could only see the link of the video and not the preview.
I am not using any plugins for embedding the videos.
Could you please help?

Hello,
i used to embed video on wordpress by simply past the link.
Now, Google search console detect that there are some problems in the two pages I have with video embed.
I’m talking about mobile usability.
Is there a way to fix this problem or a plugin that will fix it ?
WPBeginner Support says
It would depend on how and where you added the videos from, using the YouTube embed as an example should not cause an issue unless you’re using an iframe embed that specifies width.

I am unable to embed a YouTube video using the embed block editor (I tried both the embed block and the Youtube block). I’ve already tried pasting from the youtube studio link, from the URL in the address bar, and from the “share” button. Is there something I’m not doing right?
WPBeginner Support says
You may want to try disabling your plugins to ensure this isn’t a possible conflict between one of your plugins and the embed.

I have a youtube video on my WordPress ecommerce site – when the video ends I simply want it to end so that my customers aren’t curious to go see other videos. No “ads” for other youtube videos unrelated to my site- I seem to recall that there is some code you can put at the end of the video URL that will accomplish this. thanks

YouTube does not offer that functionality at this time.

If it is only when trying to preview the post, you may want to try saving your draft beforehand to ensure that it is not due to the preview not being saved properly

“ll you need to do is paste the video URL into the WordPress editor.”
What a ie. Even putting the youtube link into the embed block doesn’t work. I wish WordPress would stop giving incorrect directions. Nothing seems to work when it comes to putting a simple short youtube link (of my own 2 minute video into wordpress. WP? …. IDK about this.

Sorry, this content could not be embedded.
There is no issue with the video, so not sure why there’s an error.

If this method didn’t work, have you tried the video block to embed using that? If the error is in a Vimeo embed then the video owner may not allow embedding of the video.

HOW do I set it to be automatic that it just fits? Is there a way? I’d like it to show up correctly regardless of the pc or iphone or android etc.

Hi WP Beginner!
First off my wordpress is a localhost. I’ve uploaded the video by adding media. (It shows up in my media library) However, when I put it in a post it starts by looking like it will play then goes black as says:
Media error: Format(s) not supported or source(s) not found
Then it gives a download link.
Is there anyway to just embed the video without giving a download link?
The video is an mp4.
Any help would be great! Thanks!

hello wpbegginer
how to increase Traffic on Photography site? without any content because my friend start a photography blog he was update only photos in blog how to improve that blog?
Guust says
Just a note to anybody thinking of just adding videos to explain things rather than explaining with written words.
Videos with spoken explanations only are not accessible to hearing impaired people and might also be difficult for visitors to your site who do not speak the same language as the language used in the video.
And videos cannot be read by screen readers for the bling.
So make sure to add subtitles and also provide screen reader accessible content if you want or need your site to be accessible.
Cheers

Hello,

However, when I access the webpage from my mobile device, when I play the video it opens it up in the Youtube app instead of staying on my website.

I am having great difficulty getting a video to post on my WordPress blog. I’ve loaded it up to my youtube channel and then copy the URL from there. I paste into my NewPost, taking care to not have anything else on that same line. The video pops up in the edit box, but will not show on my blog when I come in from the outside, like any of you would do.
I’ve reviewed bunches of training sites that all say I am doing this correctly, and yet it won’t show. I called GoDaddy, since they are my blog host, but to no avail. They couldn’t help.
I even tried using the embed code and got the same results.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Jeanne says
Thank you for this video. Seems simple enough, but the video I want to embed in my Word Press template is from a news station’s website. It’s not on the white list and although you said we would have to use the embed code instead, you did not provide a link to how to use the embed code.
Cory says
This was helpful, but I’m an idiot and need every single step spelled out for me…haha! What may be helpful for others looking for the solution, is more details on the link that you actually use on the wordpress page. It’s shown in the video but isn’t specifically explained. Don’t use the links that youtube gives you in the “share” option. Instead, copy and paste the actual url that is in your address bar of your browser.
Erin Tallman says
Agreed. I’m looking for more advanced options, so this actually wasn’t very helpful
