Pate the Youtube video code snippet into you HTML web page
Contact your website hosting service and ask them how to edit your website's HTML. They will usually have a WYSIWYG editor with an HTML view mode. Once you're in HTML mode, paste the Youtube code snippet somewhere between the '<body>' and '</body>" tags.
