   There are several ways of doing this, but I’m going to give you what is probably the simplest.
   1. Get the “AllVideo” extension here: http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,812/Itemid,35/
   2. In your Joomla admin, go to Install->mambots and locate the extension file you downloaded. It should now be installed for you.
   3. Then in Joomla admin go to Mambots->Site mambots and publish the mambot you just installed.
   4. If you are putting the video on your own server, do this: on your hosting server, using FTP or the media manager, create a directory under images/stories called videos. (I think this is the default used by the extension. Upload your video file to this directory.
   5. On the page where you want the video to appear, in the editor, write {flv}myvideo{/flv} for example, if your video file was called myvideo.flv. If it was thevideo.mov, you write {mov}thevideo{/mov}. You can check further instructions if you click on the mambot name. You may have to tinker with the video size etc.
   If you are not hosting the video yourself, but displaying from e.g youtube, simply write {youtube}374536{/youtube} where the number is the youtube number of the video.
