# Embed A Self Hosted Video on WPVR Hotspots

You can Embed your self hosted videos from your WordPress Media Library on the hotspots of your virtual tours using [**WPVR**](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpvr/).

Follow these steps to embed a self-hosted video on a hotspot:

## **Step 1: Create A Virtual Tour**

Click on the [**WPVR**](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpvr/) tab on the left side panel of your WordPress dashboard.

Choose to edit one of your old tours or Add a new Tour.

## **Step 2: Set Up Hotspots**

Make sure you’ve uploaded a valid scene and filled out all other requirements for successfully creating a virtual tour.

Go to the Hotspot section, edit an already existing hotspot, or create a new one.

-> Set a **Hotspot ID**.

-> Set **Pitch** and **Yaw** of your desired hotspot location on the scene.

-> Set the **Hotspot-Type** as **Info**.

-> Apply other customizations as you need.

Now, in the **On Click Content** field, paste this small piece of code:

```
<video width="400" height="200" class="video-js" id="wpvr-video" controls>

<source src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/folder/yourvideoname.mp4" type="video/mp4">

</video>
```

On the **source src** field, you have to place the URL of your self hosted video file.

## **Step 3: Embed The Self Hosted Video**

Go to your WordPress media library.

To find the link to the video, open the WordPress media library on a new tab.

Now find or upload the video you want to choose and click on it. Below you will find the video link.
