How To Add A Youtube Video To Your Wikispaces Wiki

Copy the YouTube Code to Share or Embed

To get started, go to YouTube.com. Browse through the videos and find one that you want to add to your Wikispaces wiki. When you locate a video on YouTube, look beneath the video for the Share menu. Select the Share menu to see a variety of options: A link you can share and buttons specific to Embed, Email, and various social media sites.

Link to Share: This displays the URL of the video. To link to the video from your Wikispaces wiki, copy this code. When you’re watching and stop the video, it gives you the option to include that start time cue in the URL. Check this box if you don’t want to start it at the beginning. Click the Copy link to copy it so that you can then paste it elsewhere. Embed: If you want the video to show up on your Wikispaces wiki, copy this code. The video will be enclosed in an iframe code. Use the Show More link to see a preview of the video. Using Show More, you can alter the size and show suggested videos after the video finishes, the player controls, and the video title and player actions. You can also enable privacy-enhanced mode. If you change any of these, the code updates. Highlight the code and copy it.
