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 Add Content button, 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 bottom. 

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 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. 

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.

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, and copy the URL at the top of the browser. 

Go to the area in Scholar where you'd like to embed the video. Paste the URL into the content editor.

The video will auto-embed as soon as you hit the Enter key on your keyboard. Keep in mind that the embed will replace the URL link, and this method will not include the potential metadata that the Add Content menu can add. 

Click Submit, and the video will be visible.
