Create a Video Component

Adding a YouTube video to a Unit

1. In your unit, click on the Video button.

2. Click on Edit.

Note: By default, edX – How It Works appears as the YouTube video.

3. Enter the name of your video in the Component Display Name textbox.
4. Enter the YouTube video URL in the Default Video URL textbox. e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

Note: By default, the edX – How It Works YouTube URL appears.

5. In Default Timed Transcript, if LearnX has a timed transcript video, the Timed Transcript Found text will appear. If it does not, you may need to click on the Upload New Transcript button and upload an .srt file. Alternatively, ensure your video has captions by consulting the Add your own subtitles & closed captions guide.

Note: It is recommended you add transcripts to your video via YouTube’s Video Manager as that video can later be shared on other websites such as Learn.UQ (Blackboard).
