I know that but I was looking to find what steps to follow to place the video in yellow highlighted section and adjust video frame size. Could you please outline the steps I need to follow to add video section on home page.

You would add an html ezblock.
Under Ezportal - ezBlock Manager
Then under the center column you would add an html ezblock.
Copy the youtube code.

Adjust the size of the video code copied over by changing the height/width tag to what is needed.

Then on "Visible Areas" page choose only home page.

Thanks for putting on the required steps. Following that I am able to add video section in the center but now another problem arises that other side is empty. So I was wondering could we be able divide the center portion into two half sections and place 2 videos side by side. Please check the attached screenshot for explanation .

You can use a table html tag and create two columns then place one youtube in one and the other in column

Code: [Select]

<table>
<tr>
<td>Youtube video here or link</td>
<td>Youtube video #2 here or link</td>
<tr>
</table>
