Here is a UDT for CMS Made Simple to put videos on your website without using youtube. You just host your video on your own website.

 

Create a new UDT:
Extensions \ User separated tags \ Add tag

Name: video

Code:

$config = cmsms()->GetConfig();
echo '<video width="100%" controls poster="' . $config['root_url'] . '/uploads/videos/' . ($params['file']) . '.jpg">
<source src="' . $config['root_url'] . '/uploads/videos/' . ($params['file']) . '.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="' . $config['root_url'] . '/uploads/videos/' . ($params['file']) . '.ogv" type="video/ogg">
<source src="' . $config['root_url'] . '/uploads/videos/' . ($params['file']) . '.webm" type="video/webm">
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>';

Create a new folder:
Go to Content / File manager and create a folder of videos in the folder uploads (here the videos are shown).

Upload 4 files with the named name in this folder.

The video file in MP4 format. (File extension .mp4)
The video file in OGG format. (File extension .ogv)
The video file in WEBM format. (File extension .webm)
A preview image in JPG format. (File extension .jpg)
