If you click Insert into post you picture shall appear.

Find your video on YouTube
Click share, then embed. You can now choose the size of video you want.
Copy the text from YouTube and paste it into the HTML page you have open in Wordpress
Now change the screen back to visual and you should see your video box appear.
Preview changes to see if it’s aligned properly.
4. Updating a page
Select all pages
Click edit on the page you wish to edit
Now you can edit pages just like you’d edit a blog post. Add pictures and videos if you wish.
Always Preview before you publish
