What controller do I use/create to display a custom visualforce page on a custom object

My goal is to have a custom object,  NewObject, display embeded youtube videos.
I have created the NewObject.
I have created a visualforce pagem  NewVP  for the videos and it previews fine.
Now I need to add visual force page to the custom object. This is were I am stuck.
I believe I need a custom controll, but am not sure. 
Any support is appreciatd.

Yes you need to use the custome controller extension .. becasue you need to use this page in the Layout ..



Try this code 
<apex:page standardController="NewObject__c" extensions="myControllerExtension">
    video URL  as A param pagem  {!pagem  }
</apex:page>
  
public class myControllerExtension {

   public String pagem  {get;set;}
    public myControllerExtension(ApexPages.StandardController stdController) {
     pagem  =ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('pagem ')  ;
    }

    
}

You page looks good.. go to the page layout and add this visualforce page

https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/visualforce_mobile_salesforce1/visualforce_mobile_salesforce1_layouts_cards


From Setup, enter Object Manager in the Quick Find box, then click Object Manager | Account | Page Layouts.
Select Edit from the dropdown arrow to the right of Account Layout.
Select Visualforce Pages and drag the StockQuote page to where you want it displayed on the page.

Use the Page on a Page Layout or Mobile Card'

I was able to add it to the pagelayout and it will display, but it is not what I want.When a user selects the tab to the custom object.
When the tab is selected I want the VF page I created to be the first and only thing a user sees.

I figured it out. I didnt realize I needed to edit the home page tab and override the standard settings.
