Insert YouTube Video
Use the YouTube Video option to browse and add video content directly in the editor. There is no need to leave the course to find the video link! You can choose to display the video as a link or to embed the video so it appears alongside the other content you include. Others can watch the video within the same window—there is no need to navigate to YouTube.
- In the editor, select plus icon > YouTube Video.
- Type a search term to find the relevant video.
- Use the filter options to explore the list of search results. YouTube determines the order of the search results.
- Select a video from the list.
- On the Edit Content Settings panel, you can add alternative text that describes the video for people who use screen readers or may not be able to load the video.
- Choose to display the video as a link or inline so it appears alongside the other content you include. If a browser doesn't support inline viewing, the video appears as a link.
- Select Insert.
