UPDATE : I should give credit where credit is due. I'm no genius, it was Genesis, i.e. dear Karen, she has twins, as I do, so we understand each other, she's the one who told me the technique, at least 2 months ago, I had not realized it would be useful to everyone

No need to learn HTML to edit the code in the article or subject.

All you have to do is :
  1. get the embed code
  2. put it where you want the video to appear
  3. submit the article or subject
  4. you see the embed code, it's ugly, no problem, just edit the article or subject
  5. You see the video, ready to play, you submit again
  6. There you go !
It can't be done for RevPages, cause there's no section for HTML code.

Here's how to do it for a YouTube video.

The embed code is a button under the video you're looking at.
  1. You click "embed code", you then see a little window with the code, it's highlighted in blue, which means the CTRL-A has already been done to get the complete code
  2. you do CTRL-C on your keyboard
  3. You go into the place where you want to place the code, do CTRL-V
  4. Then follow steps 3 to 6 above

CTRL-A = Select all
CTRL-C = Copy
CTRL-V = paste
