You can embed a video or piece of audio in the Text field. Note that you embed the link to multimedia and do not upload the file; the file needs to be hosted on another platform, such as YouTube for videos.

Click in the Text field in the position where you want the multimedia to appear. Go to Insert/Multimedia in the text editor’s menu.

This will open a new pop-up window with the heading Insert media.

Depending on whether you want to add video or audio, go to the respective Video and Audio tabs.

Add the URL of the multimedia you want to share in the Video source URL/Audio source URL field.

You can add more details in the Display options, Advanced settings and Subtitles and captions drop-down menus, and briefly summarise its content in the Describe this content (optional): field. You can also adjust the size and alignment of the video.

Click on Insert media. The video will appear in the Text field.

Will your learners need to watch this video in order to complete your course? Make sure that the Completion conditions are correct.

Click on Save and return to course.

If you want to update the video, click on the icon of three vertical dots next to the text and media area and click on Edit settings from the drop-down menu. If you click on the video in the Text field and then click on the Embed media icon, the Content properties window will appear.
