If you want to embed a YouTube video on your Webflow website, it’s actually quite simple. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of adding a YouTube video to your Webflow project.
Step 1: Find the YouTube Video
The first step is to locate the YouTube video that you want to embed. Once you have found the video, open it and click on the “Share” button below the video player.
Step 2: Get the Embed Code
After clicking on the “Share” button, a pop-up window will appear with various sharing options. Click on the “Embed” tab to access the embed code for the video.

In this step, copy the entire embed code provided by YouTube. You can do this by clicking on the “Copy” button next to the code or by manually selecting and copying it.
Step 4: Open Webflow Editor
To add your YouTube video to your Webflow project, open your project in Webflow Editor. If you’re not already logged in, enter your credentials and proceed to your project dashboard.
Step 5: Add an Embed Element
In Webflow Editor, navigate to the page where you want to add your YouTube video. Click on the “+” icon in any desired section or container where you want to place your video. From there, select “Embed” from under “Components”.

Step 6: Paste the Embed Code
Once you’ve added the Embed component, a box will appear on your page. Inside this box, you can paste the YouTube video embed code that you copied earlier.
Note: The embed code should start with “<iframe>” and end with “</iframe>“.
Step 7: Adjust Settings (Optional)
