I would like to be able to insert youtube videos in my Jekyll site hosted in Github. There is a Jekyll plugin for embedding youtube videos but it does not work in github pages. An iframe does not work either. <iframe width="420" src="hhtp://..." frameborder="0" allowfullscreen> </iframe> Is there a way to do it or we just have to live with that?

Jekyll blog hosted in github: how to insert youtube embeddings?

I would like to be able to insert youtube videos in my Jekyll site hosted in Github.

There is a Jekyll plugin for embedding youtube videos but it does not work in github pages.

An iframe does not work either.

<iframe width="420" src="hhtp://..." frameborder="0" allowfullscreen> </iframe>

Is there a way to do it or we just have to live with that?

It is possible to get the HTML directly from youtube.

Simply

Go to the youtube video you'd like to embed.
Click SHARE.
Click Embed.

One minor addition to the response of @David Jacquel: the secure https is crucial for it to work in Github Pages (whereas the not secure http might be enough for it to work locally).

Try :

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>
