How to Remove a Linked Video to a YouTube Post on Blogger

Edit your blog post to remove an unwanted YouTube video link.

Blogger allows you to add YouTube video clips to individual blog posts. When adding a post link to a YouTube video, Blogger embeds the YouTube video viewing pane in the blog post so visitors don’t have to click a hotlink and go to the main YouTube site to view the video clip. To remove a YouTube video link from your Blogger blog post, you’ll need to edit the post with the Blogger post editor tool.

Difficulty:

Moderate

Instructions

1. Log in to your Blogger account. Blogger automatically opens on the Dashboard page that lists all your Blogger-hosted blogs.

2. Click “Edit Posts” under the name of the blog with the post from which you want to remove the YouTube video link.

3. Scroll through the Edit Posts page to locate the post that contains the YouTube video. Click the blue “Edit” link beside the post to open the Blogger post editor tool.

4. Click the “HTML” tab above the post editor’s content field. Find the linked YouTube’s iFrame embed code, which will look similar to this:

   <iframe allowfullscreen="yes" frameborder="0" width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/abcRGx95rel=0"></iframe>

5. Highlight and delete the entire iFrame code snippet to remove the video link from your blog.

6. Click the blue “Preview” button under the post editor to see how the edited post looks on your blog. Click the orange “Publish Post” button to store the changes and publish the edited post to the blog.

Tips & Warnings

• Always use “HTML” mode rather than “Compose” mode to remove YouTube video clips in the Blogger post editor tool, because clicking the video clip in an attempt to highlight it in “Compose” mode will sometimes play the video rather than highlight the embedded object.
