In this video, I'm going to show you how to add social media links to your Google site
0:05
So let's get started. So first, you'll need a site which is ready
0:09
So I've made a detailed video on how to make one and you can check it out on the top right
0:14
And once you've made it, then we can add the links. So first, just come to Google Sites
0:19
So you can search for sites.google.com and you'll reach this page. After that, just open the website where you'll want to add the links
0:28
So I'll select this and now we've reached the site editor. So to add the links, we'll have to go to the insert page, which is over here
0:37
And then if you scroll down, you'll find an option called social link
0:41
So now just click on this. And as you can see, we can add an icon and a link over here
0:46
And from here on, it's pretty simple. So first, you'll have to decide how many links you want and to which sites
0:53
So I'll show you how to add one and then you can follow the same process for the others
0:58
So first, I'll add it to my Instagram page. So here on the link, you just have to type in your URL
1:05
So it'll be www.instagram.com slash your username. But if you aren't sure how to get this link
1:12
you can just open your page on a new tab and copy the URL from the top
1:17
So now I've added this link and now I need to add the Instagram logo
1:22
So I'll click on this image icon, which is on the left over here
1:26
And then we have two options to upload or select. So in upload, you can upload files which are already on your PC
1:33
But I'll just click on select because now we can go to Google images
1:38
and just search for Instagram logo. And as you can see, I've got this logo and I can click on insert
1:44
So now the logo has come here. The same way we can follow this process of adding a link
1:50
and then an icon for all other social media, which we'll want to add
1:54
So I'll quickly add some more now. As you can see, I've added all of the links
1:59
If I want to add more, I can just click on add link that's here
2:04
And if I want to remove one, I can click on the delete icon, which is here
2:08
So once you've added all your links, just click on insert. And now as you can see, this box has come here, which has all of our links
2:16
So now we can format this if we want. We have these options on top
2:19
So I'll quickly show you. The first one is the icon size
2:23
You can decide if you want small, medium or large. After that, you can decide the shape of the icon
2:30
So currently it's a circle, but you can make it a square. And as you can see, it's changed
2:35
After that, you can change the icon style, color, and also the alignment
2:40
So I can make it left aligned if I want. And now it's gone there
2:43
So once you formatted these icons and they look as you want, then we can place them exactly where we want on our website
2:51
So let's say I want to add it to my footer that's at the bottom over here
2:55
Then I just click on this box and click on control C to copy it
3:00
After that, I'll go to edit footer and here just click on control V
3:05
And as you can see, the box has come here. And again, we can change the position and keep it exactly how we want to
3:13
So now the social media links have come in the footer and let's see how they work
3:18
So I'll quickly just preview the site. So I'll click on this icon that's here
3:22
And now if I scroll down to my footer, as you can see, these links have come here
3:28
And if I click on them, then here, as you can see, it's taken me to my Instagram page
3:34
So the same way for other links, just click on the icon and it'll take you to that link
3:39
So this is basically how it works. And if you want to know 10 Google Sites tips and tricks
