However, WordPress also lets you self-host videos on your own server and embed them that way. WordPress even includes its own basic video player.<\/p><p>However, there&#8217;s a caveat. In most situations, we do <strong>not<\/strong> recommend doing it this way. Self-hosting your own videos will eat up a lot of bandwidth and storage. Additionally, it&#8217;s hard to handle all the technical details such as video encoding and different resolutions. Sites like YouTube and Vimeo handle all this technical stuff for you, but you&#8217;ll be responsible for it if you try to self-host videos.

That is, that visitors won&#8217;t be able to share the embedded video with people who shouldn&#8217;t have access.<\/p><p>The first step is to make the page where you embed the video private. We have some tutorials here that can help out:<\/p><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/blog\/wordpress-membership-site-memberpress-elementor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Create a WordPress Membership Site<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/blog\/paid-member-subscriptions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Restrict Content on Elementor Sites<\/a><\/li><\/ul><p>However, even though the page itself is private, there&#8217;s still nothing stopping your users from sharing the videos themselves. To prevent this, some good tactics to consider are:<\/p><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/professionals#privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vimeo Pro<\/a> &#8211; the Pro version adds <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/blog\/post\/video-privacy-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">advanced privacy controls<\/a> to keep your videos from being shared. For example, you can lock your videos to your WordPress site&#8217;s domain name so that they won&#8217;t work anywhere else.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/flyplugins.com\/s3-media-maestro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">S3 Media Maestro<\/a> &#8211; this WordPress plugin lets you externally host your videos on Amazon S3. It also lets you protect the videos that you serve from S3 with unique, encrypted, and expiring URLs.<\/li><\/ul><p><a href=\"https:\/\/wistia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wistia<\/a> &#8211; like Vimeo Pro, Wistia lets you <a href=\"https:\/\/wistia.com\/support\/account-and-billing\/setup#domain-restrictions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lock your videos to specific domain names<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7cd8e8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"d7cd8e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"easiest-way-elementor\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-deeef87 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"deeef87\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Embed Videos In WordPress The Easiest Way \u2014 With Elementor<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46a9ec5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"46a9ec5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As we introduced at the beginning, using video content on your WordPress site is a great way to engage your visitors and increase the time that they spend on your site.<\/p><p>With the strategies in this post, you&#8217;re ready to start embedding video today.<\/p><p>For most websites, we recommend sticking with third-party video hosting platforms like YouTube or Vimeo because they&#8217;ll save you money and offer a better experience for your viewers. Additionally, embedding these videos is simple. Whether you&#8217;re using the Block editor, the Classic editor, or Elementor, pretty much all you need to do is paste in the URL to the video.<\/p><p>For more advanced use cases, like a private membership site, you might want to consider alternative solutions such as hosting your videos on Amazon S3 or paying for a premium service such as Vimeo Pro.<\/p><p>Do you still have any questions about how to embed video in WordPress?
