Video is still a maturing media on the Internet. Much has happened as it has exploded onto sites across the world, and contributors to Drupal have made recent strides in supporting it. However, there is still much to be done to make it easier for administrators to support it. Also, although there are many new and traditional tools available such as Views and Embedded Media Field, these still require some set up to get working.

In the following chapters, we will examine how a developer may use Views and other tools to make embedding video easier for editors than it already is. We'll also see how to serve and brand videos from our local server.
