Post YouTube Videos on MySpace Profiles

Venetian writes, "I saw your instructions of how to post a video from YouTube into your blog section of MySpace. But what if I want the video to start playing on my home page when people first visit?"

MySpace made a few changes to the way they handle YouTube videos that makes the process of adding video to your MySpace Profile page a little easier. At the same time, it's a slightly more confusing process than my previous method for adding YouTube videos to your MySpace blog. MySpace automatically changes the YouTube video embedding code to fit MySpace requirements, so you need to make sure you add the autoplay information in the right spot if you want a video to start automatically on your MySpace profile home page.
To add a YouTube video to your MySpace profile page, make sure you're logged into MySpace. Click on the Edit Profile link next to your photo.

Posting YouTube Videos on MySpace From Safari

Kate writes, "I'm trying to put a YouTube video on my MySpace, but because I have a Mac, it won't let me use advance blog, so then I can't post the video. How do you do it on a Mac?"

If you're using Safari on a Mac, MySpace gives you an error message like the one below when you try to post new information on your blog.

How to Add YouTube Videos to MySpace

Aimee writes, I have a two part question - first, how the heck do I put a YouTube video on my MySpace pages? You have a bunch of articles about embedding video, but I can't figure out how to do this with YouTube. Second, how do I get rid of a friend from MySpace? There doesn't seem to be any way to delete them.

YouTube provides an Embed code in the About This Video section of every video. Similar to my demonstration on how to post Flash video to the Web, you can use this Embed code to post a YouTube video to MySpace. The steps to post the video are listed below. I address your question about how to delete a friend from MySpace elsewhere.
