Class Connect: Embedding MP4 files in your class

Creator: Brittney Fiorello-Larkin

This tutorial shows you how to download a Class Connect recording as an mp4 (rather than just a Newrow shareable link) so that you can then upload and edit it in YouTube.

Then, it shows you how to embed the recording into your course as a "playable" video. Note: embedding can actually be done for ANY YouTube video that you want easy access/visibility for students!

You can embed your recordings in announcements, quizzes, assignments, grade descriptions, etc. For example, if you have a lesson related to a quiz, you could embed your recording directly above the quiz questions, which can be a great way to support students in completion and accuracy.
