 * The basic function would be something like this…
 *     ```
       function video_func() {
           $gdrive = "<iframe src="http://video-source.com/page" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>";
   
           return $gdrive;
       }
       add_shortcode( 'videoplayer', 'video_func' );
       ```
   
 * As to what URL to use for the iFrame that you’re setitng up, that’s almost impossible
   to tell without knowing at least what video hosting platform you’re using. Most
   of the big ones (YouTube, Vimeo, etc) have good embed codes available for their
   videos, and a lot can be automatically embedded in yor page by just pasteing 
   the URL into it.
