YouTube

When using the youtube shortcode, you will need the Video ID associated YouTube video. Copy the YouTube video ID that follows v= in the video’s URL and pass it to the YouTube shortcode:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7Ft2ymGmfc

For accessibility reasons, it’s best to provide a title for your YouTube video. You can do this using the shortcode by providing a title parameter.
