4. The ‘media embed’ window will open. Enter your video URL in the URL field and click “OK”.

add the video URL in the URL box and click ok.

 

The video will automatically size to fit in the content box.  It will play full-screen when visitors click on the video player’s full-screen button.

 

If you want to keep your video private, but still show it in your presentation, you will need to change your Privacy setting to “Unlisted” or “Hide”.

An “unlisted” video is a different type of private video. “unlisted” means that only people who know the link to the video can view it. An unlisted video will not appear in any of YouTube’s or Vimeo’s public spaces (such as search results, your channel, or the browse page).

 

Here’s what you do in YouTube:

1. Sign into your YouTube Account

2. Go to your My Videos page

3. Select the video which you’d like to make an unlisted video. 

4. Click the Edit button to access the video’s settings.

5. Go to the Privacy section of the page. There you’ll see the option to mark your video as “Private”, Unlisted”, or “Public”. Select Unlisted.

6. Click the Save Changes button. Once you’ve done this your video will be an unlisted video.
