Embedding or Linking to a Streamed Video

  • Most platforms have an option to embed or link directly to the streamed video
  • Do not attempt to embed videos using an iFrame or other methods if the embed code is not provided for use - this violates copyright
  • Check permitted uses for collections - if an embed code is not provided, you may be able to link directly to the video for student access

Use the table below for info on how to access embed codes for particular collections
