Using the Video module, you can place a video on your page if it is first uploaded to a video hosting service. Video hosting services include:
- Vimeo
- Hulu
- Metacafe
- YouTube
- Dailymotion
If you have a video on your computer that you want to use, first upload it to a video hosting service, where you can then obtain the embed code for the video. You must have the embed code for a hosted video to use the Video module.
For questions about uploading your video to a video hosting service, refer to the video hosting service's Web site.
Note Video hosting services like YouTube generally provide both the URL and the embed code for an uploaded video. Although you can use either one in the Office Live Video module, you will have more control over the display if you use embed code. If the embed code is not available for a video, the video cannot be placed on a Web page, and
the URL for the video is unlikely to work.
Important If you partially redirected a domain name to your Office Live Small Business account: Before you can make changes to your Web site after partial redirection, you must change the primary domain to your free Office Live Small Business domain that ends in .officelive.com. For more information, see Make changes to your Web site after partial redirection.
