Overview
Squeeze pages are small websites that host one or two Web pages. These Web pages filter traffic to a main website, and they solicit e-mail addresses from users. The email addresses are used to send newsletters or site updates to promote a website's product or services. These pages increase traffic and sales. A squeeze page tells the reader what will be included in the emails he receives and gives him information about the company's policies on privacy. Content added to a squeeze page can be in the form of a video. You can insert a video into a squeeze page by embedding it into the main website HTML page. The video can be added using a simple text editor.

Scroll down to the location where you want to video to be displayed. Use the following code to insert the basic video link into your page:
<object width="425" height="344">
<param name="movie" value="youtube.com/watch?v=oSRY">
</param>
</object>
Replace the fictitious YouTube link above with the location of your video. This can be a YouTube video, or it can be a video located on your Web server.

Set the video properties in your embedded HTML. In this example, the parameter added allows users to expand the video to a full screen. The following code adds a property to the video:
<object width="425" height="344">
<param name="movie" value="your_video_location">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
</param>
</param>
</object>

Save your code changes and open the file with your Web browser. This tests the new changes and allows you to view the video in the browser.
