How do I embed a YouTube video on a Lessons Page?
A special feature of the Lessons tool allows Instructors to embed a YouTube video on a Lessons page without the need to copy the source code.
First locate and copy the YouTube video URL (not source code).
- Click on the Share tab under the clip.
- Copy the YouTube URL into the clipboard (CTRL+C for PC, or CMD+C for Mac).
Go to Lessons.
Click on the Lessons Page Title (e.g. Lesson 2) in the Tool Menu to display the page.
Note: The default or blank Lessons page contains text and images that explain the basic functionality of the Lessons tool.
Click on Add Content, then Embed Content on a Page.
From the Add Content drop-down menu, select Embed content on page. This displays the Embed Content dialog box.
Change "http" to "https". (Optional)
Tip: Before clicking Save, you might need to change "http" to "https" as some browsers (Firefox) do not display "http" links.
Click Save.
View embedded video on page.
Add a description and/or adjust the video pixel size.
Enter the desired Width and Height for your video in number of pixels or percent of screen, and/or enter a description in the Item Description text box. Then, click Update item to save your changes and return the display to the Lesson Page with the embedded video and description.
