Adding Large YouTube Videos without Text in Modules
Modified on: Mon, Mar 3 2025 2:13 PMThis tutorial explains how to add a large-sized YouTube video without text to a module. It yields this end result for students:
Copy the right YouTube link.
Go to YouTube and find the video you would like to share. Make sure you are on Video's page. Copy the url at the top of the webpage. Not use the share button.
Add the YouTube video to a module.
Go to your course's Modules and locate your preferred module for the video. Click the module's + button in the upper right corner.
Next, click the drop down menu that initially says Assignment and choose External URL.
Complete the following 4 steps:
- In the Url: box paste the url you copied earlier from YouTube.
- In the Page Name box write a name that describes what the video is about.
- Uncheck Load in a new tab.
- Hit the submit button.
The video will now show up at the bottom of your module. For example, I added a video called, "Watch Biodiversity in New England Video". Optionally, you can reorder it to a different spot at this time.
