On the Embed Video screen, unclick ‘Show suggested videos…’ and then click the COPY button.

Now on your website, open a new post, and in TEXT mode paste the code where you want the video to appear.

Finally, in most cases you will want to set the width to “100%” and the height to “540”. Now your video should appear on the page!
