You can embed YouTube videos nearly anywhere you’re able to enter text on Scholar.  There are two ways to do so: searching for a YouTube video through the Mashups tool, or manually embedding a video that you've already located on YouTube.

Searching for Videos with Mashups

You can start the embedding process by choosing YouTube from the Mashups menu in the content editor.

Embedding Videos Directly

Sometimes you may not be able to use the Mashup search to add the video.  You may be sharing one of your own unlisted videos, or you may just find it more convenient since you've already located the video that you want.  If this is the case, you can directly embed the video.

First, find the video on YouTube.  Click the Share button.
