The following steps demonstrate how it is done.
How can I embed a YouTube video in my course page?
- Go to YouTube and find the video you wish to embed.
- Copy the code which is in the Embed field to the right of the video window in Youtube. The easiest way to do this is to right click in the field and click on select all, then right click again and select copy.
- Now go into your Moodle course.
- Turn editing on.
- From an Add a resource drop down menu choose Insert a Label
- Enter a name for the video at the top.
- Then click on Toggle HTML source button on the toolbar (the < > icon)
- This will take you into HTML mode.
- Paste the code you have previously copied from Youtube into this box, then click on save and return to course.

No problem Amy. I am glad you found it useful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these steps Dan -- I bet others will find this helpful too. WHat is particularly useful about embedding the YouTube videos, as opposed to watching them on the YouTube page, is that you don't see the ads and the comments that others have made about the video. While I find the comments can be thought provoking and interesting, they can also be distracting (and when used with pre-college age students, you can get yourself into trouble because the comments can sometimes be inappropriate.
