Posting Videos:

There are a variety ways to provide your viewers access to a video you would like them to see.

Insert a YouTube Video

This method allows you to "display" to a video that already exists on YouTube. Process: Go to the Insert menu > select Video > then select YouTube. You will then be provided with a space to "paste" in the URL provided at the actual location of the video. When done, simply click Save. See video on the right.

Insert a Video from your Google Docs

Yes, it is now possible to upload videos to your Google Docs and share these videos as you would any Doc, Spreadsheet, or Presentation. However, to insert in a Google site first make sure that you have set the visibility to either Public on the Web or Anyone With The Link. Now, go to the page on your site you wish to insert the video. Click Edit page > go to the Insert menu > select Video > then select Google Docs Video. Select the video you wish to insert. That's it! Very slick.

Insert a Presentation from your Google Docs

Before uploading - Once you have the presentation in Google Drive, open the presentation, click on the Share button, change the visibility from Private to Anyone With The Link (or Public on the Web). This will allow others to view this presentation on our website. Click on Save and Close.
