Embedding YouTube Videos

If you have chosen to upload your video onto YouTube, you can then embed your video into Blackboard, your blog or other website rather than wait for users to find your content via a YouTube search. Please note: Your video must be set to Public or Unlisted* in order for it to play on your website.

You will need to get the Embed code from YouTube.

  1. Log into YouTubeyoutubevideo
  2. Click on your username and then My Videos
    (located at top right)
  3. Click on your chosen video
  4. Click on the Embed button (beneath the video)
  5. Copy the code and then paste into your blog/website’s HTML code (or into Blackboard’s HTML code)

(Note: You can also embed someone else’s videos using steps 4-5 above).

 

Embedding in Blackboard

For instructions on embedding into Blackboard please refer to the last part of the post on “Using the Flip Camera to make online videos in Blackboard“.

 

* An Unlisted YouTube video does not appear in YouTube’s public spaces, such as in searches, but can be viewed by anyone who knows the URL to the video.
