Embedding a Video URL

In this article, let us learn how to generate and embed video URLs.

If you are using a video in your course, you need to add or embed the video URL while creating the course. You can add videos at both the concept and course levels. 

A video URL is a URL or link you generate for a video. You can add or embed such links in the content you publish online - on public platforms and portals for users to display and view. 

Embedding refers to the integration of links, images, videos, gifs, and other content into social media posts or other web media. Embedded content appears as part of a post and supplies a visual element that encourages increased click-through and engagement. For example, the videos that you see on YouTube, Vimeo, etc., are published only after you add or ‘embed’ or ‘upload’ the video URL on these sites.  

Video URL in the LMS
If you are creating a course with a video as learning content, you need to generate a URL for the video and embed it in the course. When you publish a course, the video will be available for the course on the LMS Portal

Creating a video URL

Once you have created a video that you want to upload for a course, save the video on your system (your local device like your laptop) or online (like Google Drive). Now you can generate the embed URL for videos for both these sources.  

You can also copy the URLs from videos published on platforms like YouTube or Vimeo.
