Upload video directly to your Blogger blog

You don't need to publish videos on YouTube, Instagram or other site to embed them in a Blogger post. You can upload videos directly to your blog, and then manage your videos in your blog's settings. 

Why would you want to upload video directly to your blog?

  • You may not want to manage a YouTube channel or use other social media.
  • Blog post visibility can be limited to blog authors, or specific invited readers.
  • Uploaded videos must follow Blogger's Content Policy. However, Blogger allows non-commercial videos with nudity or sexual activity (with some limitations), as long as the blog is marked "Adult" in your blog settings.

This is a video I recorded and uploaded directly to this post using my phone. It took just a few minutes. 


Read on for detailed instructions.

Upload a video to your Blogger blog

1. Sign in to Blogger and open the post editor

2. Click the Insert Video icon (you may have to scroll to the right through the buttons to find this)


3. Select Upload from computer


4. Either drag the video file into the uploader or click Choose a video to upload

If you are using a mobile device, you will also see the option to record a video with your camera. 

Click Camera Video to record a video

5. The video will upload and process, which may take a few minutes. 


You can continue writing your post as the video processes.

You can adjust the dimensions of the embedded video player.

1. In the post editor, switch to HTML View 

2. Click the Format HTML button on the toolbar to tidy up the HTML

When you get the embed code for a YouTube video the default is width="560" height="315" (those are the dimensions of the embedded videos at the top of this post).
