Embed a video, or other content
- Use the the toggle switch to turn 'Edit mode' on and choose the resource or activity you would like to add the video to.
- Copy the embed code from where the content is located (how to do this will vary depending on where your content is hosted). Here are some common video content sites you might embed from. Services marked with a star* require you to log in using your UCL credentials:
- UCL Streaming Services - you will have been provided with the embed code when Creative Media Services confirm they have uploaded your content.
- UCL MediaCentral* - UCL ’s video portal [Copy the code to the right of the video under Copy Code (to display on the page). Select size below this].
- Youtube - [Click on Share and then Embed in the box below the video and select the text in the box that appears. Use Control-C (or right mouse click, Copy) to copy it. Note you can adjust the size and (via the Options drop-down) the start point of your video at this stage].
- Vimeo (like YouTube) [click the Share icon in the top, right of the video - it looks like a paper aeroplane and choose Embed].
- Khan Academy - free online learning resources [Click Share > Embed] to the bottom, right of the video].
- Box of Broadcast* (BoB) - you can embed TV programmes and films relevant to the subject material into your Moodle course for your students to watch [Below the video choose Embed > Embed as code] . To embed a clip from a full BoB video follow these instructions.
- LinkedIn Learning* - click Share (to the top, right of the page) and copy the code under 'Embed this video' in the pop up window.
- Back in Moodle, click on the Edit icon next to your page or text and media area where you want to place your video. In the text editorTinyMCE, click on the HTML button <> tools and select 'source code (<>)' to see the underlying code. To find the HTML button you might have to click on the Downward Arrow icon to 'Show more buttons'.
Decide where you want the video to go (maybe after a title or some text for example) then Control-V (or right mouse click, Paste) to paste it.
Click Save and return to course and you will see the video is embedded and ready to play.
Recommended option: Embed an audio file via Mediacentral

Further guidance on Embedding a video in its own player is available from Moodle Docs. If you find any inaccurate or missing information you can even update this yourself (it's a communal wiki). If you have a specific question about the tool please contact the Digital Education teamplease raise a staff query form. |
Caution
Many video files are too large for Moodle to handle well and it is recommended you do not upload videos directly into Moodle. Instead, you should use MediaCentral or YouTube to upload and stream your video.

A. Make sure rel=0, this means that YouTube won't include a list of 'related' videos when your chosen video finishes.
