Choose whether articles embed a relevant YouTube video, and from which channel.

Articles can embed a YouTube video when the writer finds a useful one for the topic. New projects start with videos off.

## Steps

1. Open **Article Settings** in the sidebar.
2. Under **Article Quality Preferences**, find **Include YouTube Videos in Articles**.
3. Set it to **No** to stop videos, or **Yes** to allow them.
4. If you choose **Yes**, pick a **Video Source** and add **Your YouTube Channel** if you want your own videos used.
5. Choose **Save Content Settings**.

## Remove one video, or one channel

On an article, hover over the video and use the feedback button. **Ban this video channel** stops that channel in later articles.

## Check it works

The next article written after you saved has no video, or uses the source you picked.

## Good to know

- Choosing your own channel steers the writer, it does not lock it. If a video must never come from anyone else, keep videos off.
- Health, legal and finance sites usually keep videos off. See [healthcare SEO](/healthcare) for how Distribb handles clinics, and the [AI content writer](/ai-content-writer) for what each article includes.
