Visit your website or blog post. Switch to HTML. Click the anchor point, which is the place, where the video clip will be inserted and anchored to. Paste the HTML code. Apply your preferred settings, such as alignment, vertical space and horizontal space. A CMS has a button for this because the CMS will change the HTML code.
