\nWell, the answer is a qualified Yes. If you embed a video from a platform like YouTube<\/a>, you are not risking copyright violation. However, if the owner at any point deletes the video, you may be left with a blank spot on your site.
\nCopyright violations occur when you make a copy of someone else’s video and post it on a website or blog. Stick to using the \u201cshare code\u201d for best results. The \u201cshare code\u201d can usually be found right under the video player. It will be a short string of code that you can insert into a blog or a website if you have that ability without going \u201cbehind the scenes\u201d. <\/p>\n

I once had a client who wanted to use a video from a trade association that he belonged to. It would have been fine, however , the Call To Action was a direct appeal from that trade association. On his service website, that may have been confusing to his visitors. Instead, I was able to creatively edit the video<\/a> so it included his call to action for potential customers. <\/p>\n

At any rate, video can be one of the most important marketing tools any business can use.
\n–That’s a wrap.
