Yes, you can embed YouTube on Wix. There are two ways to do this.

The first is to use the Wix Video Player, which is an embeddable video player that you can use to play YouTube videos on your site. The second way is to use the HTML5 video element, which is a more standards-based way to embed video on your site.

The Wix Video Player is the easiest way to embed YouTube on your Wix site. To use the Wix Video Player, simply go to the Wix App Market and search for “Wix Video Player”. Once you’ve found the app, click “Add to Site” and follow the prompts to add the app to your site.

Once the app is added to your site, go to the page where you want to add your video and click “Add Video”. From there, you can either upload a video from your computer or enter a URL from YouTube.

PRO TIP: To embed YouTube on your Wix website, use the Wix Video Player or the HTML5 video element. The Wix Video Player is the easiest option and can be added to your site from the Wix App Market. To add a YouTube video to your site using the Wix Video Player, go to the page where you want to add the video and click “Add Video”, then either upload a video or enter the URL from YouTube.

Once you’ve selected or uploaded your video, you can then edit the player settings such as autoplay, looping, and controls. When you’re finished, click “Save & Publish” to publish your changes.

The HTML5 video element is a more standards-based way to embed video on your site. To use this method, simply go to the page where you want to add your video and paste the following code into the HTML editor:

<video width="560" height="315" autoplay>
<source src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOUR_VIDEO_ID" type="video/mp4">
</video>

To change the size of the video, simply change the width and height values in the code. You can also remove the autoplay attribute if you don’t want the video to start playing automatically.
