How to insert an online video

I’ll search for our video on YouTube.  Select the video and click “Insert”. A thumbnail of the video is inserted into the document. I’ll change the layout options to wrap the image with text and position the video thumbnail where I want it in the paragraph. If the reader is online while reading the document he or she can play the video by just clicking the thumbnail image. By inserting a video into the document itself you don’t risk losing the reader’s attention by opening up another web site.
