Create a YouTube block
To create a YouTube block:
- Click on Add Content.
- Click on UVic Blocks.
- Click on YouTube.
- Enter a system name (lowercase with no spaces). You will see that youtube already appears as the Placement Folder.
- Disregard the Display Name (it is a required field but doesn't actually display).
- Paste the YouTube video URL in the field provided and leave Show Wrapper selected.
Note: When your YouTube video is finished playing you will see advertisements for other YouTube videos (this a default of YouTube and not something we can change). However, you can include &rel=0 at the end of your YouTube URL, and this will limit the advertisements to only UVic related videos (i.e., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEllkUyQLC4&rel=0).
- Include a Caption for the video and click on Start Times if you wish to enter a specific time for the video to begin.
- When you are finished, click on the ellipsis and then click on submit.
- You will see that the YouTube video has been added and appears under blocks > content > youtube.
