There are a few variety of ways to add videos to a Moodle course

...

    • Add a new Page in Moodle (under resources)
    • Go to the HTML source view by clicking on the filmstrip button   in the content box. A pop up will appear.
    • Go to YouTube or Vimeo and copy the video embed code. This is under the "Share" link.  
    • Head back to Moodle. In the pop up window, paste the video URL in the field labeled "Enter URL".
    • In the next field, give your video a friendly name.
    • Click the "Insert" button.

Adding a Video from Google Drive

You can upload many common video files to Google Drive and view the videos right from within Google Drive.  This is handy if you want to control the permissions via Google Drive or want to avoid the ads in the YouTube interface.  Upload the video to Google Drive just as you would any other file.  When you click on the video it will display within the Google Drive interface (it may take a few minutes to process after you have uploaded the video).  To add the video to Moodle, copy the URL to video (or a folder with several videos) and add it to Moodle as a url link.  Make sure to set the permissions of the video appropriately.  Most instructors will allow anyone at Swarthmore or any users with the link to view the video.
