Adding videos into Concrete5 from YouTube is so easy using the core "YouTube" block. It embeds a streaming video using the "regular" YouTube player interface.
However, for business websites that want the more professional look, this block gives a sleek, minimalistic interface with a Web 2.0 style play button and fully responsive output.
This block uses the YouTube API rather than "standard" embed code, so it's just as fast, but much more flexible.
One other nice feature is the easy control over the video width. This can be easily modified from the block editor.
Now you can have the best of both worlds... a professional, beautiful video player, and save disk space and bandwidth by utilising YouTube's services.
