If there is a Youtube video you would like employees to view in their training you can use an embeddable URL for the video as 'Attached Content' for a module, which will cause the video to be displayed in the platform at the start of a module.
The module will also need to have either a questionnaire or a standalone package. If you do not have a questionnaire or package you would like to use, you can add a simple 'Yes' or 'No' question that the employee will need to complete after watching the video.
You can use a Youtube video as attached content for a module by following the steps below:
Obtaining an embeddable URL for the video:
- Go to the video on Youtube.
- Click the 'Share' button.
-
Click the 'Embed' button. The page should now look similar to the image below.
You will find the URL for the video in the code on the right-hand side. The URL will look similar to the below URL:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/
Note: The embeddable URL will not be the same as the share link for the video. The share link will not work and will be blocked when it is used in a module.
Creating a module using the embeddable URL
- Go to Training → E-Learning on the platform.
- Click on the New Module button.
-
Next to 'Attached Content' select 'External Link' and enter the URL for the video in the text field that appears.
- You will now either need to add a questionnaire to the module or a package. To add a questionnaire tick 'Training Template' and select a template type. Click 'Save' and then re-enter the module you just created and add a multiple choice question with a 'Yes' or 'No' answer. Activate the module so it will be viewable.
