Adding video to a Moodle text box (forum, assignment, label, page, etc.)

1. Navigate to your YouTube channel's YouTube Studio - Click Here

There are two ways you can place your Bethel YouTube video into Moodle. You can either use the URL or you can use the embed code. The URL method is best used when placing your video in a forum posting and the embed method works best when placing the video on its own page. 

Adding Video to a Forum Posting

The first thing you will need to do is get the URL for your video from your YouTube Channel.
