How to embed video in your
VLE
|
To link, simply make a normal hyperlink and make sure this link is pointing to the ClickView Home Standalone Link. Linking is preferable when you don't want to give up a lot of page real estate for the ClickView Home video window, or when you wish to send an email.
If you want to embed, however, you have to insert some HTML code directly into your web page or
VLE
content item. Here is how to do it.
First, get the embed code from ClickView Library Manager or ClickView Player. Each ClickView Home video is accompanied by a URL for linking (see below), and Embed code for embedding.
Copy the Embed code to the clipboard by selecting it (a simple click on the code will do it), right-clicking (Mac control-click) and choose Copy or press the “copy” button ( ). Now open the web page/LMS content item you want to embed the video window on.
Using FrontPage or SharePoint Designer on a standard web page, choose Insert > Web Component... > Advanced Controls > HTML
When the HTML Markup box opens, paste in the embed code you copied from ClickView Home Links window and click OK. Now save the page (all you will see visually on the page is a blank space). Now, save the page and preview it to be sure the video has been embedded.
