You can add videos to a note in two ways: embed a YouTube or Vimeo video, or upload and host your own videos with Cloudflare Stream.

## Embedding a YouTube or Vimeo video

Click **Video** in the toolbar **Insert** dropdown, or type / on an empty line and select **Video**. In the **Add a video** window, paste a YouTube or Vimeo URL into the **Embed** field. Embedding a video requires no setup.

## Uploading your own videos

To upload and host videos, first connect a Cloudflare Stream account. Click the gear icon and select **Settings**, open the **Videos** tab, enter your **Account ID** and **API Token**, and click **Connect Cloudflare Stream**.

Once connected, open the **Add a video** window in a note and use **Upload Video** to upload a new video, or **Select Video** to choose one you have already uploaded. After uploading, Cloudflare Stream processes the video, which can take a few minutes.
