There are several methods to add a YouTube or Vimeo video to your Moodle course
The easiest way to add a YouTube video is to add a link to the video, by adding a URL resource. Copy the URL of the YouTube video and paste it into the address of the URL resource.
If you create link to the YouTube video in a label or Moodle page (using the chain icon in the text editor), Moodle will replace the link with the embedded video.
You can also embed a video from YouTube into your course using the following steps
Click Add an activity or resource → Page
In the Content area toolbar, by clicking on the Multimedia button
in the content box. A pop up will appear.Go to YouTube or Vimeo and copy the link to the video
Head back to Moodle. In the pop up window, paste the video URL in the field labeled Source URL
In the Name field, give your video a friendly name.

If you just want a simple link, you can do one of the following things:
Add the link by using Add a resource or activity → URL. This will not embed the video.
Turn off automatic multimedia embedding for your course. This can be set from the main course page. Click More (under course title)
...
→ Filters → Multimedia plugins → Off. This setting will affect content in the entire course. If you don't want to affect the entire course, you can turn the multimedia filter off for a single page by editing the page, clicking on More
...
→ Filters , and setting Multimedia plugins to

Off.
Edit the YouTube link to prevent auto-embedding. For example, if the YouTube link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PfzLRs7YC0, adding a parameter to the middle will prevent auto-embedding: http://www.youtube.com/watch?embed=no&v=0PfzLRs7YC0 (add the text in bold to the URL). Note for advanced users: Moodle is looking for a match for
watch?v=, so adding something to the middle disrupts the filter.
