1. From your page or post where you would like to insert the player, have your cursor where you want to insert the video player and click on any of the Upload/Insert icons along the top of the edit box.
2. Then you are going to click on the “External Media” tab.
3. You will enter the YouTube link in the box provided. You will need to make sure your YouTube video is in the proper format for it to work properly.
In most cases your YouTube video link may look like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_profilepage&v=iAfQhhmjfjY
However you need to have it look like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAfQhhmjfjY
The feature=player_profilepage& needs to be deleted from the link.
So the formula that you need to have is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=(and the video code here)
5. After you have entered the correct URL clicked the “Add Media” button. This will then take you an editing window where you can edit information about your video. In most cases it will pull information from YouTube about the video and add it for you.
6. After you everything the way you want it you need to click the blue “Insert JW Player” button NOT the grey “Insert into Post” button. If you don’t click this blue button the player will not work properly.
7. The player will be automatically added to your post or page.
