How to Embed Youtube Videos in Your Instructable Using Internet Explorer
Goto Youtube
Goto the Youtube page where you keep your video. You will see a button under your video called "Embed." If you look at the picture with this step you will see the button circled in red with a red arrow pointing to it, you can't miss it. Click that button.
Copy the HTML Script for Your Video
After you click the button marked, "Embed" you will see some highlighted text appear under your video. In the picture associated with this step you will see the highlighted script circled in red with a red arrow pointed at it.
Since the script is already highlighted all you have to do is copy it.
On Internet Explorer you can click, "Edit" followed by "Copy." Or you can do the keyboard shortcut by holding down the "CTRL" key while pressing "C."
Your script is now copied.
