The insert video option in Microsoft Word gives you the choice of inserting an online video from youtube or inserting an embed code from a website. But what if you want to insert a vidfeo from your own web server?

Here are the steps you need to follow.

1. Upload an mp4 video to a web server.
2. Create an embed script the same as show in step 3 but change the web address (In bold) to the address of the videro you wish to embed. You also set the width and height.
3. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.fardonwebhosting.com/ben.mp4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
4. In MS Word click on the 'insert' TAB
5. Click 'Online Video'
6. Paste the embed link you created in Step 2 into the 'Video Embed Code' and press the --> key
7. You will see a light box player appear in your document.

To play the video click on it and a light box window will open. (Be patient, it might take a little time for the video to starts to play. The larger the file the longer it will take).
