WordPress’e Neden Asla Video Yüklememelisiniz (4 Neden)

WordPress web sitenizde video göstermek mi istiyorsunuz?

Web sitenize video eklemek, ziyaretçilerinizin dikkatini çekmenin ve dönüşümleri artırmanın akıllıca bir yoludur. Ancak videolar çok fazla depolama alanı ve bant genişliği kaplayarak barındırma maliyetlerinizi artırabilir ve ziyaretçileriniz için kötü bir deneyim yaratabilir.

Bu yüzden WordPress sitenize asla video yüklememenizi öneriyoruz. Bu makalede, WordPress’e neden asla video yüklememeniz gerektiğinin tüm nedenlerini ve ayrıca web sitenize video eklemenin en iyi yolunu inceleyeceğiz.

Why you should never upload videos to WordPress

Yükleme ve Yerleştirme (Arada Fark Var)

WordPress web sitenize neden asla video yüklememeniz gerektiğini söylemeden önce, herkesin yüklemeler ve yerleştirmeler arasında bir fark olduğunu anladığından emin olalım.

Bir videoyu yüklemek veya barındırmak, tıpkı WordPress medya kitaplığını kullanarak görüntüleri yükleyip depoladığınız gibi video dosyalarının da sitenizde depolanacağı anlamına gelir. Bu bizim tavsiye etmediğimiz bir yöntemdir.

Bir video yerleştirdiğinizde, videoyu önce YouTube gibi üçüncü taraf bir siteye yüklersiniz ve ardından blog yazılarınıza kolayca yerleştirebilirsiniz. Video web sitenizde görüntülenebilir ancak başka bir yerde saklanır. İnsanlara mümkün olduğunca video yerleştirmelerini şiddetle tavsiye ediyoruz.

1. Kolay Paylaşım

WordPress’e video yerleştirmek yüklemekten daha kolaydır. YouTube’a veya diğer video paylaşım sitelerine yüklediğiniz bir videoyu sadece URL’sini blog yazılarınıza yapıştırarak paylaşabilirsiniz.

Embedding a YouTube video in your WordPress website

YouTube’da bir kanalı yönetmek de daha kolaydır. Öte yandan, WordPress’te resimlerinizden ve diğer yüklemelerinizden ayrı bir video bölümü oluşturmak o kadar kolay değildir. WordPress’e bir video yüklediğinizde, diğer tüm medya kitaplığı içeriğinizle karıştırılacaktır.

Videonuzu YouTube’a ve diğer video paylaşım sitelerine yükleyerek, izleyicilerinizin videonuzu paylaşmasını ve hatta viral hale gelmesini kolaylaştırırsınız.

2. Bant Genişliğinden Tasarruf Edin

Web sitenize video yüklemek size bant genişliğine mal olacaktır. Daha yüksek kaliteli videolar daha da fazla bant genişliğine mal olur.

Site ziyaretçilerinizin videolarınızı kendi web sitelerine yerleştirmelerine izin verirseniz, video orada her görüntülendiğinde bu bant genişliği katlanır. Ayrıca videolarınızı yönetmek ve görüntülemek için muhtemelen daha fazla eklenti eklemeniz gerekecektir.

Bu eklentiler, hız için optimize edilmedikleri takdirde sunucu yükünüzü de artırabilir. Paylaşımlı web hosting kullanıyorsanız, hostunuzun web sitenizi askıya alma ve geçici olarak kapatma ihtimali vardır.

WordPress sitenizin hızını optimize etmek, SEO sıralamanızı ve web sitesi trafiğinizi de etkilediği için her zamankinden daha önemlidir.

3. Görünürlük ve Trafik

YouTube, dünyanın en çok kullanılan ikinci arama motoru ve en çok ziyaret edilen bir numaralı web sitesidir. Sadece bu bile birçok web sitesi sahibini videolarını YouTube’a yüklemeye zorluyor.

YouTube’a bir video yüklemek, kendi web sitenize yüklemekten daha fazla izleyici getirebilir. YouTube’un ve diğer video paylaşım sitelerinin sosyal ağ özellikleri, videolarınızın viral popülerliğini tetikleyebilir.

Örneğin, WPBeginner YouTube kanalında 296.000’den fazla abonemiz var ve her hafta on binlerce yeni görüntüleme alıyoruz.

The WPBeginner YouTube Channel

4. Video Kalitesi Optimizasyonu

YouTube veya Vimeo gibi sitelere bir video yüklediğinizde, daha iyi bir web deneyimi için her videoyu işlerler. Görüntüleyenler videonuzu HD veya daha düşük çözünürlüklerde izlemek isteyip istemediklerini seçebilirler.

Ayrıca, bu web siteleri kullanıcının internet bağlantısını ve cihaz türünü otomatik olarak algılayarak videoyu izleyici için en iyi kalitede oynatmaya çalışır.

Videonuzu WordPress’e yüklerseniz, bu optimizasyonları kaçırırsınız ve videonuz olduğu gibi görüntülenir, size daha fazla bant genişliğine mal olur ve kullanıcı deneyimini bozar.

Bonus Özellikler

Birçok video barındırma platformu, yalnızca WordPress’e yüklerseniz kaçırdığınız daha fazla özellik de sunar.

Örneğin, şunları yapabilirsiniz:

  • Erişilebilirlik için videolarınıza otomatik altyazı ekleyin
  • Reklamlardan para kazanın
  • Videolarınızı kaç kişinin izlediğine dair analizler alın
  • Özel video küçük resimleri oluşturun

…ve çok daha fazlası.

Hangi Video Barındırma Hizmetini Kullanmalısınız?

Video barındırma hizmetleri, yukarıdaki tüm sorunları çözmekten çok daha fazla fayda sunar. İyi bir video barındırma hizmeti, ziyaretçilerinizin internet hızlarına göre video kalitesini otomatik olarak ayarlar ve hatta bazıları platformları aracılığıyla yepyeni bir kitleye ulaşmanıza yardımcı olur.

WPBeginner’da kullandığımız video barındırma hizmeti YouTube‘dur. Google’dan sonra dünyanın en popüler ikinci arama motoru olduğu için daha fazla takipçi çekmenize yardımcı olacaktır.

Ayrıca videolarınızla çevrimiçi para kazanmanıza yardımcı olacak bir Ortaklar Programı da var.

Videolarınızı YouTube’a yükledikten sonra, WordPress sitenizde YouTube video galerilerini görüntülemek için YouTube Feed Pro veya Envira Gallery gibi bir eklenti kullanabilirsiniz. Daha fazla ayrıntı için en iyi YouTube video galerisi eklentileri listemize göz atın.

    The idea that viewers can choose their preferred quality when videos are hosted on YouTube or Vimeo is a big plus. Thanks for explaining in detail. I’ll ensure to put this to use when offering video tutorials.

  3. Damian Cichosz

    Thanks for explaining. I see that difference and fully understand that. Also i like that article is short and contains all important informations at the same time!

    A question that arises is, do you have any recommendations for users who want to maintain a consistent brand image or experience across their website and embedded videos? How can they ensure that the embedded videos seamlessly blend with their site’s design and branding elements?

    • WPBeginner Support

      It would depend on the site but styles can be added to your blocks to modify the look within WordPress itself, it would depend on where the videos are embedded from for the options of what can be changed for the embed.

    What if my website will work on a Local area Network only? what’s the best way for video gallery in that case ?

    • WPBeginner Support

      Unless you do not have access to the internet you can still use this method but if it is only for your local network you could use your local storage instead of embedding from a video site.

    I embeded a twitter video on my wp site but the complaint i get is that it takes too long to load . Is it the same with you tube or it is my site problem .

    • WPBeginner Support

      You are likely running into issues with your server resources, we would recommend reading the article above. Using YouTube embeds should be able to help with that issue.

    Thanks for your recommendation it make sense!

    I have a question, sometimes I publish short videos in mp4 formats, very short videos from 6 to 12 seconds, that matter anyway?

    Or what about using .gif formats?

    • WPBeginner Support

      For short videos, it is normally better to use gif format for your site’s content.

    if my web host gave me unlimited bandwidth for my site that is like youtube, can my user upload video directly then?

      It is possible but you would want to reach out to your hosting provider to ensure they are able to handle that.

    Am making a website that can allow users to login,upload and post their own videos ,much like how youtube works.So my question is, how do i go about creating a page that displays the videos that users post to my website?

      It would depend on how your current content is set up, if they are using posts then there are plugins to list recent posts available.

    I was hoping to upload educational videos to my site and make them only available to my paying members. If I embed on a third party site how do you suggest i protect the content? Thank you

    • WPBeginner Support

      Depending on the third party site there are options to limit where the video can be embedded from, Vimeo is one service that has this option

      Yönetici

  10. Sarah

    Why would you utilise another service such as YouTube who then controls your content AND plays other content to your site?

    And what IF your site will not allow / bans third party site?

    And why PAY for another service?

    Many ISPs allow free bandwidth and better still YOU have full control over YOUR content.

    • WPBeginner Support

      We cover our reasoning at the start of the article as not all hosts have unlimited bandwidth that they allow for sites. For banning third party sites, that would be a personal choice. YouTube is free and allows you to have your content on another popular search engine as YouTube itself can be considered a search engine for content on their site.

    The reason I want to upload videos to my site and host them is that I am a teacher who teaches Chinese students English.
    Sometimes i want to send them video of documentaries or news articles for them to watch and learn from.
    As you know YouTube is banned in China (not to get in the politics of it), so I want to be able to allow my students to see carefully selected articles.
    How do I overcome this?

      Hi Trevor,

      You can use alternate video hosting websites that are available and popular in China.

    So let’s say my website promotes different Events with WP Event Manager.

    How would I embed YouTube video into into an Event Post?

    (Example – I’m adding an Event to promote a band playing a gig and I want to include a video of them playing in the Event Advert).

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hey Dan,

      If the events on your WordPress site are a custom post type, then you can simply add the youtube video URL in the event description or details area.

    I upload my homework help videos to both YouTube and my website in case my visitors cannot access YouTube (visitors from China can’t usually access YouTube due to censorship, schools may block it to prevent inappropriate content from being watched, etc.)

  15. Ed Hughes

    I’m planning to launch my first WP site soon and wanting to encourage my members to embed videos more rather than upload photos. But I’m wondering if I have lots lots of embedded vdieos, youtube or vimeo, on the site, will that still consume more resources vs upload photos? And what about memory? I also use YouTube plugin (by By EmbedPlus Team) to display YouTube playlist. So with all these setup, will I be better off to simply let my members upload photos instead of encouraging them to emebd YouTube/Vimeo? Thank you.

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hello,

      It actually depends on what kind of website you want to build. Embedding more videos on a page may affect performance but you can always manage those issues by displaying fewer videos per page, using lazy load, or increasing server resources.

      Yönetici

  16. Michael Walther

    Nice article, and I totally agree as far as home/private users are concerned.

    For the business users behind their companie’s big firewalls, though, we ought to think different. Most of today’s big iron firewalls just won’t let YouTube through! So these users won’t see your video, but rather, they will see an error message like, ‘Sorry YouTube ist not allowed here’, meaning ‘Do not steal your company’s bandwith and time, will you please!!’

    So for your business users, the question is not whether to host videos yourself or to link them in from YouTube. But rather, the question is whether to host videos yourself, or have them concealed. I do prefer the former.

    • Brenda Donnelly

      Exactly! My company has banned all social media sites including YouTube and Vimeo. You just can’t see any video content on our website unless it’s uploaded directly onto the website, so HOW do you center an uploaded video please.

  17. Alejandro Ball

    Hello,

    My question on this topic is in regards to non-standard wordpress sites. To give a little context I use the wordpress platform to build sites for the contemporary arts. Now I can understand the argument to embedded rather than upload, which I agree with on a single video file.

    However, my question is in relation to creating a platform, from scratch, that is to house a screening of several artists’ films. The idea is basically to build a site that can run a play list for the film screening, which could be used at the venue to stream in and projected, but as well give audiences not local to the event, an opportunity to go to the site and view the film screening, therefore give a greater degree of distribution.

    So, as you can see embedding multiple videos from multiple sites (because no artist seems to use the same platform…) is difficult and probably not even an option, at least from my research. So I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations?
    to give more details on the platform in mind:

    1. the play style would be similar to VLC playlist operations, for creating short film screening (and have been looking at VLC plugin and api usage)

    2. because of permissions for using artist videos, video content would not be sharable, or be enabled to be embedded on other sites. the only sharing capabilities would link the user back to the screen platform, from social media platform etc.

    3. In terms of content management, I would ideally like to build something that a non-technical user could use after this initial screening. I am creating this for a small arts organisation, and they would be interested in using the platform again an again, so the ability for them to be able to change the playlist from the standard WP management system, with a degree of ease, would be key.

    4. The site would have a simple layout (with very few additional pages), and would only be used for this type of film screening projects.

    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

    • Paulette Henderson

      I am having the same issues as you describe, as I’m building a site much like the one you describe. Mine is a language site, and it also will not have many pages other than those video pages. It’s beginning to look like my best option is to create video playlists in Wordpress, from videos I have uploaded to our Wordpress site. The issue I am dealing with now is that the player takes up most of the room on the page, leaving little room to see the playlist. I am looking for help to resize the player and reformat the playlist. Any lessons you might be able to share on this?

  18. Val

    I am conflicted on this issue. I have created a number of content videos for marketing that I will sell on a subscription bases. Putting them on a youtube makes it more likely that people will rip it off where as in my personal site, I can control access base on setting up subpages and with login.

    • Gem

      I have the same worry. What you could do is embed a video on your site using YouTube, but make the video Unlisted on YouTube. Therefore, whoever you want to see it from whatever access controls you have on your Wordpress, can see it. It is not public on YouTube, just those who have had a link to it from your site.

  19. RAMKRISHNAN

    Umm is there a way to embedded the video on fee version of WordPress

      your wasting your time after i had 500 episode of pokemon on my site but after the free trial was ended, i had to pay

  20. Miro

    I wish everybody stopped telling what I should or shouldnt do.
    can U tell me how do I add my video to the site, please…

    Thank u very much

    • Bill Frankell

      Not sure on yours, but on mine I just upload it to the Media tab, just like a picture. In fact I do agree with this article most of the time, except I believe there is a way to make videos so that they cannot be hot-linked. Do a Google search for it but include “wordpress” in the search term.

      Having said the above there are cases where it is desirable to load a video in to the site. Take a peak at my landing page;

      You will see about a 2 second delay – depending on your connection speed – where the screenshot displays as the video from the hotlink (YouTube) loads. I don’t like that. I feel that if the video was resident on the site that would be a much shorter delay, if at all.

      This delay bothers me, but it hasn’t kept me from getting too busy to deal with it up till now, but it is on my “to do” list.

      If you locate the code that stops the hotlink I would be very happy if you would share it with me, but not really necessary. I also think that i can do this from the server (have my own) but again been too busy to chase all this down.

  21. Jeddyson chukwuma

    Thanks for the article, its kinda great,good bro

  22. Sarah

    Any suggestions on how to deal with the excessive load the the YouTube player causes on pageload time? It seems to add a huge overhead on, for instance
    I’ve been embedding videos for the reasons you suggest, but the youtube viewer seems to take an age to load too!

  23. Jos Schuurmans

    Hi and thanks, this is useful.

    My customer’s concern with uploading their video to YouTube is that at the end of the playback, the embedded screen will show thumbnails with links to other YouTube videos, distracting visitors and potentially drawing them away from the website.

    Fixing that would be a selling point for using YouTube to embed video, so I think it’s worth mentioning. I found at least one way to remove those related video links here:

    Is that all fine or is there anything else to take into account?

    Cheers,
    Jos

  24. Douglas Pratt

    The first thing you should have made clear is that you are talking about self-hosting a WordPress site on Bluehost or Dreamhost, et. al., as implied at the banner link, “Start your WordPress Blog in minutes.”

    Second, the problem with using a video hosting service is you are limited in what can be posted. If there is any doubt at all about copyright, for example, a video can be pulled and your account might even be shut down.

    Another option is to use Amazon Web Services. A basic S3 account is all you need, and it will cost extra, above and beyond whatever you pay for a Web hosting service, but unless you have an extremely busy blog — very unlikely for beginners — the expense will be nominal. Assuming the videos are MP4, making them compatible with HTML 5, a WordPress plugin for embedding video isn’t needed:

    • Got a question

      Hi I have a new blog. I used cloudup to embed a video into wordpress. I can view it on samsung phone, samsung tab, microsoft desktop computer, but my friends with iphones cant see videos.
      Do you have any solutions.
      Kind regards
      Brenda

      • Frank Atwood

        Uploading a video to your site is like trying to re-invent the wheel.

        So what’s the best solution for adding video to your site?

        Simply upload your video to a video hosting servicelike YOUTUBE or VIEMO (pro if you want to protect it), then embed your video into your WordPress post or page.

        Once your video has been uploaded, copy the URL to your video. Return to your WordPress site and paste the URL into your post or page where you want the video to appear.

        Very Respectfully,
        Frank

    Many thanks for this article. Just saved my bacon as we were about to upload video onto a website when it should have been an embed.

  26. Asad Ali

    Hi,

    Thanks for the article.

    I have one quick question: Which plugin would you recomment to embed videos on wordpress websites that can use a fallback mechanism? i.e., if a video is unavailable on one host e.g.,Vimeo, it should load the video from another source i.e., Youtube?and so on…

  27. Doug

    Thank you for clearly explaining the difference between upload vs embed. It’s helpful! Is there ever a good reason to upload?

    • WPBeginner Support

      In some cases, like when you are concerned about privacy and usage rights of your video content. But in most scenarios it is always better to use a video embed service like YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion, Vine, etc.

      • Rob

        I use uploaded videos because Youtube butchers quality. Lately even more than before.
        Sure, the points made in the article are valid, but when quality is important, you can’t go Youtube.

    Why Can’t free accounts have Video Press? I am using word press for a class and would like to put some music on my website, but can’t because Video Press isn’t part of the free plan, and I can’t afford the premium plan.

  29. Jenifer Disusa

    Hello to all.
    The above is very useful but I mean to add few more points for why not to upload video and rather to embed it.

    1. File Size Limits and Storage Space:

    Most web hosting providers limit the maximum size of uploaded files to 50 MB or less, prohibiting you from uploading video files that are longer than a few minutes or so in duration. Additionally, large media files may violate the terms of the Acceptable Use Policy with your hosting provider and result in your hosting account being shut down.

    If you’re able to upload large video files to your server on a frequent basis, you could eventually exceed the amount of storage space provided by your hosting account, especially if you regularly back up your site.

    2. Slow-Loading Video or Unexpected Pauses During Playback:

    If your video file resides on a single server with a limited amount of bandwidth, folks who attempt to watch your video may experience unexpected pauses during playback while their computer waits for the file to download or stream to their computer.

    3. Hope you like converting videos. A lot.:

    You’ll will want to deliver a large, HD-quality file so the users can watch it full-screen if they so choose. Generally, this means a 1080p or 720p file at a high streaming bitrate (5000 – 8000 kbps).
    But you’ll also want to encode a smaller, lower-resolution version for delivery to mobile devices like phones and tablets, as well as for slower Internet connections.

    Now you’ve got half a dozen or more individual video files for playback on all the major web browsers and devices. But how does your site know which of those files to serve to each person?

    4. Video Players

    There are dozens of excellent video players that will handle the video requsts nicely (like the SublimeVideo Player), but WordPress 3.6 will actually include a built-in video player that will eliminate the need for a third-party video plugin. That’s great news! But it gets a bit tricky…

    5. Cumbersome Code [or Shortcodes]

    Third-party plugins require you to create a bit of code to tell the video player which formats you’ve created, as well as their location on the server.

    There are more reasons also but I am finishing here.

  31. Franco

    Great article, however, if you want to keep your videos private, best is not to publish this on YouTube.

    If yo are looking to promote yourself your product or service, YouTube is the best platform to do this.

  33. Dean Mickelson

    Is it possible to upload videos to sites such as YouTube and restrict viewing access except from my Wordpress page. I shoot video at youth sporting events and would like to restrict access to parents and family by password protecting the videos from my site. Is this possible with YouTube?

    Thanks,

    Dean

    • Heather

      I am a newbie as well, but if there is a restricted page that is protected by a login, it may work. So, if the page is called “Videos” and the parents have to login on your page to access the page “Videos”, then you can post a link there. This may work with embedded videos as well, but I am not sure. When you create the video on YouTube, mark the video as “unlisted” and this will only allow those with a link to see the video. Therefore, you post a link to the videos on the “Videos” page and the parents have to login to get the link. I hope this helps.

    • Mike

      When you upload a video to YouTube, select the privacy settings to ‘Unlisted’. This means that YouTube and other search engines won’t index the video in search results. The video will be made visible only to people who have the link.

      The privacy setting ‘Private’ is also an option but each person will need to be given specific access

    • Carl

      I know you can add passwords to videos you upload to Vimeo.

    • Ramon

      Keep in mind that this post is for your average blogger or similar. What you intend to do is a big project similar to linda.com or teamtreehouse.com. I wouldn’t take the information in the post to heart as your plan would require you to host your own content for the security reasons you mentioned.

  37. Jona Adams

    I don’t agree with using Youtube or Vimeo, the content on your website is what counts, plus the ads on YT are ridiculously long. I prefer to have my content, my video’s on my site, why give Google “free content” so they can make more money?

    The SEO value is that the video is “only on your site” that provides exclusivity and that provides rank, for good quality. Make the videos short, people only have seconds to watch a video. As far as copyright content, Don’t copy, end of story.
    It is now June 2015, most themes now expect web designers to self-host HTML5 which is far better quality. If your hosting company is close to your market, you’ll have good speed. A well made 30 second video, can have powerful impact if done properly and with HD 1080 or better.
    Don’t always take the easy way out.

      If you are using Vimeo then yes..
      In vimeo,
      No will see video, and you can still embed video…

    To upload video or movie files to word press, there are three steps involved.
    First, upload you file , for example mymovie.mp4 to your web hosting server, Second, create a HTML file called movie.htm with two lines as follow:
    This is my movie.
    http://mywebserver.com/mymovie.mp4.
    This is the URL to your file after you upload your file to your server.
    Third, go to word press upload your file movie.htm, Select a name such as MovieShow. To run your MovieShow by clicking on the link on your blog post. Upon the execution of the post, click on the URL. Your movie mymovie.mp4 will play. In this approach, the file size you want to upload is only limited by your server’s maximum file allowed.

    the problem is you get the Youtube overlay and that doesn’t match the design of many corporate websites

    Is there software (not freeware) that allows you to upload to youtube, multiple files at once?

    I want user to have the privilege to upload videos from my site to youtube, vimeo or any other video site and the video can be viewed and played on my site. Wanted to know if there is any plugin for that.

    Hi,all
    I hope you can help. I have a wordpress website with Green Geeks and when I embed a you tube video it spans my entire webpage no matter what parameters I pick with the you tube embed code. Any ideas?

    I have copied the URL into my post, but whenever it is posted and you try to play the video you get the following response: “The video contains content from SME. It is restricted from playback on certain sites. Watch on YouTube.”

    What do I need to do to get it to play on my blog?

      Did you find a way to upload a video without ads?

    I’m all about serious beautiful quality. I spend most of my time perfecting the little things and detail overall for a better viewing experience. Vimeo, YT etc all transcode and downgrade the quality of uploads no matter what, completely taking away all of my hard work and rendering hours. Self hosting will hopefully allow me to share my work and advertise at the quality I want, and most of my files are small so the transcoding on Vimeo & YT’s side is so unnecessary for me. Great article.

    Great post and I highly agree with your points. I wrote a post on the same topic a few years back. Thanks for your thoughts!

    We have a problem in that our sites are mainly for educational institutions and streaming video from the sites such as Vimeo & YouTube etc are blocked by the majority of internal firewalls.

    The institutions can request for specific sites to be unblocked but on the whole the IT departments are fearful of allowing access and this solution does not work for the casual visitor.

    Does anyone know a way that if the streaming site is blocked, the browser will instead display an alternate self hosted video?

      I share the same sentiment here. Embedding is fine, given the points in this useful article. But yeah, I need a way to still play an embedded video in wordpress when usual video hosting sites such as youtube or vimeo are blocked in a network. Thank you!
