<div align=justify>There are several ways to insert YouTube video in Joomla. This article will let you know how to insert the video link directly in the articles source code (this method is more preferable than using additional Joomla extensions). Check the following steps:

* log into your Joomla administrator area at http://yourdomain.com/administrator;

* in the '''articles edit''' section click '''Source''' at the '''WYSIWYG editor''';

* An example of the source code that you need to enter can be found below:

<div align="center"; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<object height="246" width="315"><param value="http://www.youtube.com/PATH_TO_VIDEO" name="movie"><param value="true" name="allowFullScreen"><param value="always" name="allowscriptaccess"><embed height="246" width="315" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/PATH_TO_VIDEO"></object>
</div>

'''Note:''' http://www.youtube.com/PATH_TO_VIDEO should be replaced with your video file URL. Also there are various options in the source that can be altered according to your needs: you can align the video left or right; change the margin size; disallow fullscreen and adjust the width and height vlues according to the movie parameters.
