Using Video Components

Using Video Components

Add videos to your courses in Studio using the Video component. You can add the name location and transcript of the videos within the video components. The participants can then watch the videos on the LMS.

There are several ways you can add videos in Video Components.
  1. Adding videos from a user’s computer
  2. Adding Videos via a YouTube link
  3. Adding videos using a YouTube ID

Adding Videos from a User’s Computer

1. In Studio, open the Course section.

2. Select Files & Uploads from the Content menu.

3. You can choose and upload your desired video, either by using the Drag and Drop option or simply by selecting Browse Your Computer on the Files & Uploads page.

4. Once you upload the video file, Studio generates two URLs: the Web URL and the Studio URL. Choose between the Web and Studio URL in the Copy URLs column, to copy the link onto your clipboard.

5. Open the Unit in which you would like to insert the video component, or create a new Unit. Next, from the Add New Component section add a new video component to the Unit.

6. When the new video component is created successfully, it is then visible. Hence, click on Edit; select the Basic tab in the dialogue box that opens. And paste the link you have copied in the Default Video URL field.

7. Click on Save.
You can easily insert a video within your video component using a YouTube link, by following the steps below.

1. Copy the video’s URL from YouTube.

2. Create a new Unit or open one you have previously made. Add a video component to your desired unit from the Add New Component section of the Unit.

3. Click on Edit when the newly added component appears and is ready to use. Select the Basic tab in the opened pop-up, and paste the copied link within the Default Video URL field.

4. To keep any changes made to your units, select Save.

Adding Videos Using a YouTube ID

1. You must copy the video ID from YouTube.

Where to Find the ID of any video on YouTube?

Whether you are watching a video or just happen to be visiting a link to a video, the video ID can be found in the related page URL, right after the v = URL parameter.

For instance, assuming the URL of a given video is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqz-KE-bpKQ, the ID would be aqz-KE-bpKQ as shown by the v = URL parameter.

2. Create a new Unit or load a previously designed Unit to insert the video component in. You can then add the video component from the Add New Component section.

3. Click on Edit, once the component appears.

4. Selecting Edit launches the editor; this time select the Advanced tab and enter your desired video ID in the YouTube ID field.

5. Click on Save to finalize your changes.
