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

Adding a YouTube or Vimeo video

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.

You can also embed a video from YouTube into your course using the following steps:

• Create a new page in Moodle (under add a resource)
• Go to the HTML source view by clicking on the "HTML" button in the content box (bottom row of the toolbar, right hand side)
• Go to YouTube or Vimeo and copy the video embed code. This is under the "Share" link.  
• Paste the embed code into the Moodle page content box.
• Save the page.

Uploading a video to Moodle

If you have your own video you want to add to Moodle, you can upload it just like any other file.  If it is a large file (over 100MB) or a longer video, it is best to contact ITS to upload your file to our streaming video server.  Email help@swarthmore.edu with your request. 

Full Length Videos

To stream full length files, please contact the Digital Initiatives Librarian in McCabe or the Director of the Language Resource Lab (for Modern Langauges). They can secure rights to screen feature films (if required) and set up the video for streaming via Moodle.
