I installed the video module and activated video and video ui modules.

I created a content type with a video field. Now I can upload videos with this content type.

But I am not able to embed a youtube video. I can not find any settings or any embed widget as shown here.

I want to upload videos and I want to embed videos (youtube, vimeo..).
But I can not find any way to embed a video unsig this video module.

Do I have to install further modules?
Why does the documentation contain no hint about this (how to embed videos)?

You can embed youtube videos with "Media" and "Video Embed Field" module.

For the D7 version use the "Video Embed Field" module to embed videos.

Maybe this is something that should be mentioned on the project page, the images on there are very misleading right now.

It is clearly mentioned on the project page.

? I don't see it anywhere. Right now it says:

What is "Video" module

Video module allows you to embedded videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Vine etc (Drupal 8 only) and upload videos and play using HTML5 video player.

First sentence on the project page says you can embed videos with this module, but you can't, you need the "Video Embed Field" module as I understand it?

Can you see that?

Yes, ok, but it doesn't mention the other module as D7 alternative. I don't mean to be rude or anything, just trying to help others and prevent them from asking the same question over and over again. I'm sorry if this offends you in any way, that is not my intention.

No sure, that's fine. I'll take a another looks and if it is confusing I'll update the doc.
