How to embed a video from YouTube or a .mov file

Get the embed code from YouTube.

Go to the “<html>Source” view (link is on the bottom of the page). Find the text prior to the place where you’d like to position your movie. Paste in code. Save file and view in browser window. Movie will not appear in SeaMonkey composer view.

You can also embed movies that you store on your server (in your uiwp folder).

A simple code for doing this is <embed src=”moviename.mov” autostart=”false” />

For greater control over alignment and sizing, try this:

1. Go to http://cit.ucsf.edu/embedmedia/step1.php

2. Select Quicktime

3. Select web server and then hit submit

4. In “web server,” type the full netfiles address. For example,

https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/bridgem2/uiwp/mywritingwalk.mov

5. Delete items in file path line.

6. Answer the following questions. You'll probably want to answer "no" for start automatically; "yes"

7. After you hit submit, you'll get code to copy. For example, I got:
<!-- begin embedded QuickTime file... -->
      <table border='0' cellpadding='0' align="center">
        <!-- begin video window... -->
        <tr><td>
        <OBJECT classid='clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B' width="320"
        height="255" codebase='http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab'>
        <param name='src' value="https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/bridgem2/uiwp/mywritingwalk.mov">
        <param name='autoplay' value="false">
        <param name='controller' value="true">
        <param name='loop' value="false">
        <EMBED src="https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/bridgem2/uiwp/mywritingwalk.mov" width="320" height="255" autoplay="false"
        controller="true" loop="false" pluginspage='http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/'>
        </EMBED>
        </OBJECT>
        </td></tr>
        <!-- ...end embedded QuickTime file -->
        </table>

  • have opportunities to demonstrate their own best practices and classroom successes;
  • study writing theory and research;
  • experience the writing process by writing and sharing their writing in small groups;
  • learn about digital literacy and video as a rhetorical medium through hands-on training;
  • publish their work on-line.
