You can add an online video as a Resource in OCHRE.

In this article, we show the best way to link to a video that is available on YouTube.

DISCLAIMER: online platforms like YouTube are constantly changing. We shall do our best to keep up with these changes. Please let us know if you notice that the following methodology becomes out-of-date.

Step-by-step Process

In OCHRE, insert a new Resource in a hierarchy in the Resources category.

Use the Type picklist to set the Resource type to webpage.

Add a Name and Description as appropriate.

On the YouTube website, click the SHARE button.

Choose the Embed option, which will provide a pop-up with some HTML code.

Locate the src attribute of the iframe element.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XXXXXXX" frameborder="0">

Copy the address listed in the src attribute, excluding the quotes.

Paste this value into the File URI field of your newly created Resource in OCHRE.

By using the embed link instead of the default share link, you are able to view the video in OCHRE without the clutter and distraction of the full YouTube web interface.
