How to Make YouTube Videos Work on Tumblr

Tumblr is a micro-blogging platform that allows you to post short blog posts tailored toward multimedia. Posts can include text, photos, quotes, video, links and audio. You can include YouTube videos on the website in two ways: through direct embedding, which allows the video to be played without leaving Tumblr, and through linking. You can add either option to Tumblr through the Dashboard.
