How to Add a Video to Your Windows Live Space
Microsoft's Windows Live Spaces is a customizable blogging and social networking portal for users. Each user has his own customized personal homepage or space. Users can add a variety of modules to their space, including blog entries, guest books, photo galleries and videos. Windows Live doesn't support hosting videos, but supports adding videos from video-hosting websites such as YouTube, Google Video and Yahoo! Video. Anyone viewing the Windows Live Space sees the video embedded on the Web page and can click the play button to view it.
