Embed YouTube Video in a Flipchart

If you want to embed video into an ActivInspire flipchart, I have a blog post for you  :-)

There are several online tools you can use to download and embed video right into your flipchart.

This helps make sure you have materials you need in case the internet is down and you have a class to teach.  It is also great for avoiding inappropriate "suggested videos" at the end of YouTube videos, if you are showing a video to little ones...  You also avoid seeing the comments at the bottom of the videos that are sometimes inappropriate.

Keep copyright law in mind and cite your sources! Once downloaded, you should use a program like Any Video Converter or FreeMake Video Converter to take a shorter clip out of a longer video before you embed it into your flipchart. (FreeMake Video Converter is on our GST Software Center for you to download at work).

You can also embed a video directly from YouTube without downloading it.  Follow the directions below:

Go to YouTube.com

Search for and locate a video you want to embed.

Click SHARE | EMBED

Deselect the checkbox next to SHOW SUGGESTED VIDEOS

 Left click and drag to select the HTML code in the box, right click and COPY it.

Go to ActivInspire:

Click INSERT | LINK | EMBEDDED FILE:

 

Right click in the box and PASTE the HTML code in it.  Add http: to the YouTube address in the code before you click OK.

That's it!  You'll see a player with a play button you can use to play and pause the video.  Have fun!
