However, there are many different WordPress video hosting methods. Therefore, you might be wondering how best to show off your clips <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/website-speed-optimization\/\">without slowing down your website<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, you have a couple of effective options at your disposal. For example, the WordPress <em>Video<\/em> block offers different upload and external embed methods. Alternatively, you can insert video URLs from sites such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, we&#8217;ll explore a few WordPress video hosting methods. We&#8217;ll cover the pros and cons of each option, and help you decide which best fits your website&#8217;s needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most people, the best option is to upload your video to a service like YouTube or Vimeo and embed it that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcda Table of contents:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#video-block\">Upload a clip with the Video block<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#video-hosting-block\">Use a third-party video hosting block<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div class='ti-tweet-clear'><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class='ti-tweet_wrapper'>\n\t\t    \t<div class='ti-tweet_text'>\n\t\t    \t\t<a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=How+to+properly+add+%23video+to+your+%23WordPress+website+%F0%9F%A4%94+%F0%9F%93%B9&via=themeisle&related=themeisle&url=https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-video-hosting\/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>How to properly add #video to your #WordPress website \ud83e\udd14 \ud83d\udcf9<\/a>\n\t\t    \t<\/div>\n\t\t    \t<div class='ti-tweet_sharebtn'>\n\t\t    \t<a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=How+to+properly+add+%23video+to+your+%23WordPress+website+%F0%9F%A4%94+%F0%9F%93%B9&via=themeisle&related=themeisle&url=https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-video-hosting\/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Click To Tweet \n\t\t    \t\t<span><\/span>\n\t\t    \t<\/a>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"video-block\">Option 1: Upload a clip with the Video block<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/article\/video-block\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Video<\/em> block<\/a> is a versatile element that enables you to embed or upload a video using different methods. Like other WordPress blocks, you can embed it almost anywhere on your website using the <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-block-editor\/\">Block Editor<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some advantages and disadvantages to using this method. Let&#8217;s take a look at those pros and cons in more detail. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The pros of uploading a clip with the Video block \ud83d\udc4d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are not many advantages to uploading a clip directly with the <em>Video<\/em> block. The primary benefit is that this method is quick and simple. You don&#8217;t need to leave your site or use any external platforms or tools. You can do everything right on the page in the Block Editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 We primarily recommend this method if your video is just a few seconds long, and you want to use it across multiple areas of your site. By uploading the clip once, you can then embed it on any post, page, and <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-widget-editor\/\">widget section<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The cons of uploading a clip with the Video block \ud83d\udc4e<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple disadvantages when directly uploading a video to your WordPress Media Library, which is why we don&#8217;t recommend this approach for videos that are longer than a few seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, this method will use a significant amount of bandwidth. Depending on your plan, your web host will typically limit how much bandwidth you can use at any given time. If you exceed this amount, your host might suspend your site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, because videos are so &#8216;weighty&#8217;, your website is likely to operate slower due to the strain on its server resources. It might load more slowly and provide an overall poor user experience (UX). This slowness can also affect your <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/google-core-web-vitals\/\">Core Web Vitals<\/a> scores, in turn causing Google to rank your site less favorably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uploading a video directly to your site can also limit its potential. For example, users won&#8217;t be able to easily share the clip to external websites. You&#8217;ll also miss out on traffic from popular platforms such as YouTube. Your audience will only be able to watch your video if they navigate to your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, third-party video hosting platforms typically have user-friendly features such as different resolution options, captions, and more. If you upload your video without these elements, you&#8217;re less likely to provide a quality experience for your audience.  <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to upload a video with the Video block<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To insert the <em>Video<\/em> block, you can type &#8220;\/video&#8221; into a <em>Paragraph<\/em> block when using the Block Editor, and hit your <em>Enter<\/em> key. Alternatively, click on the <em>+ <\/em>icon to add a new element, search for &#8220;video&#8221;, and choose the first icon that appears:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image

However, you&#8217;ll first need to host your video on a third-party platform. If you&#8217;re going to do that, it&#8217;s typically more efficient to use a dedicated block instead.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><a href=\"#\" style=\"color:#999999\">Go to top<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"video-hosting-block\">Option 2: Use a third-party video hosting block<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re concerned by the potential downsides of using the generic <em>Video<\/em> block, you can use one of the third-party WordPress video hosting blocks instead. The video itself will be hosted on another platform&#8217;s servers, and you&#8217;ll simply display it on your site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 Again, we generally recommend this method if your video is longer than a few seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that if you choose this method for your videos, you&#8217;ll first need to upload and share them on your platform of choice. To get started, we recommend checking out our complete guide to the <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/best-video-hosting-sites\/\">best video hosting sites<\/a> for website owners and marketers.  <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The pros of using a third-party video hosting platform \ud83d\udc4d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most significant advantage of this WordPress video hosting method is improved site performance. Since the video is hosted on external servers, it isn&#8217;t consuming as many of your own website&#8217;s resources. Therefore, you can embed as many videos as you need without significantly affecting your site&#8217;s loading times and UX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, this method enables you to attract organic traffic from other sources. For example, YouTube has more than two billion users worldwide <small>[1]<\/small>. Hosting a video on that platform and also embedding it on your website or in a relevant blog post could significantly boost your traffic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, an embedded video from a third-party platform typically offers extra features and customization options, such as different resolutions, captions, and a user-friendly player. You might even be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-make-money-on-your-website\/\">monetize your content<\/a> with built-in ads and view external analytics. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The cons of using a third-party video hosting platform \ud83d\udc4e<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using this WordPress video hosting method can be more time-consuming. Rather than uploading a clip directly from your computer, you&#8217;ll need to first add it to your third-party platform of choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll need to create an account on that website, add your videos, and customize them. This means a longer process with more steps, and one that can&#8217;t be completed solely on your own website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll also need to choose a platform that best fits your needs. If you&#8217;re not sure where to begin, we&#8217;ll briefly discuss YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion in the next section. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use the YouTube block<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>YouTube is an incredibly popular video hosting site and social media platform that really needs no introduction. In 2021, its global audience was almost two billion people <small>[2]<\/small>. Therefore, hosting your videos on this platform could be ideal if you want to reach a new audience outside of your WordPress website:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image blog-img-std\">\n<figure
