Answer 1

Use <iframe> :

1. Upload the video to YouTube
2. Take a note of the video id
3. Define an <iframe> element in your web page
4. Let the src attribute point to the video URL
5. Use the width and height attributes to specify the dimension of the player
6. Add any other parameters to the URL (see below)

Example:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/whatever"></iframe>
