YouTube videos are fun and often educational elements that can be added to a Hub. To add a YouTube video to your hub you will not need an account, but I recommend signing up for one anyway. Another thing I suggest is to research and buy a video camera, which will enable you to make your own YouTube videos to add to Hubs. Right now I am using the Aiptek A-HD 720P5MP CMOS High Definition Camcorder, which allows me to take videos that I can upload to YouTube and take pictures of up to 8 mega-pixels. I still use other YouTube videos, but when and where possible I try to take all of my own pictures and film my own YouTube videos. This is not possible if you want to show a small segment of a movie, but this is pertinent if you want to create a Hub about a topic that is near and dear to you. For example, if you are writing a Hub about your favorite football game I would recommend taking along your video camera to catch a few clips of the game, and add some of your own commentary whilst/while filming. When people go to YouTube they will be searching for videos about this team or sport, and if they happen to watch your video they may click on the explanation right next to it. In the explanation of of the video you can display a link to your hub, which will prompt a few people to click on it and to see what it is all about. However, first I shall be demonstrating how to add a YouTube video to your Hub.

For this short demonstration I have decided to add the very first video I ever made, which is entitled Winnie The Pooh And Eeyore As Salt And Peper Shakers. This video is very silly and cheesy, but I decided to just film something quickly do ensure the camera was working correctly. The first thing you want to do is go to YouTube and select The video you will be adding to your Hub. Refer to the url address of the video and right click to copy it.

First, use the up and down arrow keys on the video capsule to determine where in the Hub it should be located. Next, open the video capsule and add the url address of the YouTube video you would like to save. I would suggest hitting the preview button just to make sure the video will display properly on your Hub. Last, hit save and now the YouTube video has been succesfully added to the Hub. After you are finished editing the entire Hub hit the publish button to see how it looks. If you decide your Hub is still not complete you can always go back and edit. Hope this little demonstration was helpful and thanks for asking me to answer this request.
