Here is one simple way of embedding the Youtube Video in your MVC5 Page in Visual Studio.

Infact this method will work on any HTML Page.

 

1. First you need a YouTube Video. Go to YouTube and find a Video which you want to display. Copy the URL which is displayed in the browser address bar.

You would have a URL like the following one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwqDGLQIINY

 

 

2.You can simply embed this video on your page using the following script

           <iframe width=”560″
height=”315″
src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/dwqDGLQIINY”
frameborder=”0″
allowfullscreen>

</iframe>

 

 

3. If you would also like to display the default image of the YouTube Video then you can use the following script.

 

<img src=”http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/dwqDGLQIINY/mqdefault.jpg”/>

If you are displaying a number of videos or a video gallery then simply replace the Video IDs (shown in red) for each of the video.

 

 

There are so many other ways to embed the YouTube videos, but I find this is the easiest and suitable for my needs.
