You can play music or video on your space. The music or video clips you play must be hosted (Stored on a server connected to the Internet. A host website lets you upload, store, view, or create links to your pictures, movies, music, or media files.) on another website. You can't link to or play clips stored on your personal computer.
Play music or video with Windows Media Player
When you add the Microsoft Windows Media Player module to your space, you can play music that you performed and recorded as well as video on your space. You can choose to automatically play the clip when someone visits your space. Windows Media Player doesn't support certain video formats found on web hosting sites, such as Soapbox on MSN Video. To learn which file formats Windows Media Player supports, see About media formats.
Make sure that you've signed in (To sign in with your Windows Live ID, click Sign in in the upper-right corner.) to Windows Live Spaces.
In the Windows Media Player module on your space, click Edit.
Click in the Web address of video or audio clip box, and then type or paste the web address (Also called a URL. The location of a page on the World Wide Web.) of the clip that you want to play. See the instructions at the host web site for information about how to determine web addresses for your clips.
To automatically play the clip when someone visits your space, click Automatically start playing the video or audio clip when people visit my space.
Click Save.
Play Adobe Flash Player videos
Videos hosted on sites such as Soapbox, YouTube, Google, or Yahoo! are saved in Adobe Flash Player format. To play this video format on your space, embed the video in a blog entry or add the Video module to your space. For more information about embedding a video in your blog, see Add a video to your blog entry. To add the Video module to your space:
Make sure that you've signed in (To sign in with your Windows Live ID, click Sign in in the upper-right corner.) to Windows Live Spaces.
In a separate browser window, open a website that hosts videos (such as Soapbox on MSN Video), and then find a video that you want to add to your blog entry.
On the video hosting website, copy the embed code for the video so that you can paste it into your own blog entry. (For example, to copy a Soapbox embed code, click Video link, in the link box, select the entire embed code, and then press CTRL+C.)
Navigate to your space.
In the Video module, click Edit.
Under Paste video embed codes here, click in the box, and then paste the embed code for the video. (Press CTRL+V.)
Click Publish.
Notes
The Video module supports videos saved in Adobe Flash Player format only. You can't play WMV, AVI, MPEG, other video formats, or music in the Video module.
