You can embed YouTube videos in many places you’re able to enter text on Scholar.  There are two ways to do so: searching for a YouTube video and 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. There, click the YouTube Video option. 

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 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. 

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 Insert to embed the video into your content. 

Placing Video Links within Content

If you already know the URL for the YouTube Video you wish to embed, you can add it directly to the content yourself. When selecting the Add Content button, click Media instead of YouTube Video. 

A window will then open allowing you to Paste the URL as well as a description of the video being linked. 



When you have provided all the needed information, click "Insert". This will embed the video into your content. (Note: If the video in question has settings that prevent embedding, these features will only provide a link instead.)
