How to Add YouTube Videos to Your Invitation Website (Embed Guide)

Introduction

A picture tells a story, but a video brings your event to life.

Whether you're sharing a romantic prenup film, a birthday invitation video, or a corporate welcome message, adding videos to your invitation website creates a richer and more memorable experience for your guests.

Link of Time allows supported packages to embed up to four different videos on an invitation website. The process is simple—you only need the YouTube embed link, and your video will appear automatically after you save your changes.

In this guide, we'll show you exactly how to add YouTube videos to your invitation website.

What Videos Can You Add?

Depending on your event type, you can use the video sections differently.

Wedding

Pre-Event Video – Prenup Video
Highlight Video – Same-Day Edit (SDE)
Full Event Video – Wedding Film
Additional Video – Proposal Video or another special memory

Birthday

Pre-Event Video – Birthday Invitation
Highlight Video – Birthday Highlights
Full Event Video – Full Celebration
Additional Video – Greeting Video

Corporate Events

Pre-Event Video – Event Teaser
Highlight Video – Event Recap
Full Event Video – Full Conference Recording
Additional Video – CEO Welcome Message

Although these are common examples, you're free to use each video section however you'd like.

How to Add Videos to Your Invitation Website

Adding any of the four video sections follows exactly the same process.

Step 1: Open Your Video on YouTube

Upload your video to YouTube first (Public or Unlisted both work), then open the video you want to embed.

Step 2: Click Share

Below the video, click the Share button.

Step 3: Select Embed

Choose Embed from the available sharing options.

You'll see an embed code similar to this:

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gXxvDgJ85kc?si=SbbMaGgZLKOeDtup" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Step 4: Copy Only the Embed URL

Do NOT copy the entire iframe code.

Instead, copy only the URL inside the src attribute.

Example

    https://www.youtube.com/embed/gXxvDgJ85kc?si=SbbMaGgZLKOeDtup

This is the value that Link of Time needs.

Step 5: Paste the URL into Your Invitation Website

Open your event's Customize page.

Locate the video section you want to update:

Pre-Event Video
Highlight Video
Full Event Video
Additional Video

Paste the copied YouTube embed URL into the appropriate field.

Step 6: Save Your Changes

Click Save.

Your invitation website will automatically display the embedded YouTube video in the selected section.

No additional setup is required.

Why Embed Videos Instead of Uploading Them?

Embedding YouTube videos offers several advantages:

Faster page loading since videos are streamed directly from YouTube.
Better compatibility across desktop and mobile devices.
Higher video quality with automatic playback optimization.
Easy updates—replace the URL anytime without rebuilding your invitation website.

Tips for Choosing the Right Videos

To create a better experience for your guests:

Keep invitation or teaser videos under 2–3 minutes.
Upload videos in HD for better viewing quality.
Use meaningful titles and thumbnails on YouTube.
Double-check that your video is available before sharing your invitation.
