You can embed YouTube videos nearly anywhere in many places you’re able to enter text on Scholar. There are two ways to do so: searching for a YouTube video through the Add Content buttonand embedding into another type of content, or manually linking a video that you've already located on YouTube.
Searching for Videos with Add Content
You can start the embedding process by choosing the Add Content button in the content editor.
You’ll be taken to the Add Content Mini-Window. There, click the YouTube Video button at the bottomoption.
You will then come to a window allowing you to search for a video. Type in the name or keywords you have in mind, and click Go Search to start the search.
A number of choices will be displayed. To choose one, click Select next to the video you’d like to view. You MUST click the word Select. The gray area is not a button.
In the Mashup Options section, you can choose whether to display a thumbnail picture, or embed the video in your shell. You can also include to add additional meta information, such as the video's original URL or creator.
This will bring you to a space where you can preview the video, as well as select some settings for how the video will be displayed in the content it is being embedded into. Note: Some YouTube videos do not allow for inline play, and will need to be opened inside the YouTube platform in order to play it. When this is the case, Scholar will alter the embed to indicate such.
Once you’ve set that option, you can scroll down to the bottom. Click Preview to see how your video will look, or Submit to create it.

Linking 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, a video published with settings that prevent embedding, 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 link the video.
First, find the video on YouTube, and copy the URL at the top of the browser.
Go Return to the area in Scholar where you'd like to embed the video. Paste the URL into the content editor.
