    I’d like to embed a Wistia.com video on my homepage in the “Video Overview” section. Clicking on the “Video Overview” button should start playing my Wistia video. Is that possible?

    Just to follow up, the above suggestion worked except I had to change my Wistia Embed Type from iFrame to api.

    Hello There,

    I have set the post as private so the public can’t see it.

    If you switch to API you can paste the Javascript code in Appearance > Customize > Custom > Javascript. Please note that <script> tag is not needed. In case you need to add javascript libraries, you can add the following in you child theme functions.php file:

    add_action('wp_footer', 'add_custom_code', 9999 );

function add_custom_code() {
echo 'custom-code-goes-here-like-this<script charset="ISO-8859-1" src="//fast.wistia.com/assets/external/E-v1.js"></script><script> wistiaEmbed = Wistia.embed("g5pnf59ala"); </script>';
}

    Hope this helps.
