The Youtube repository allows users to search from within the HTML/TinyMCE editor for a youtube video which they can then embed without the need for any coding. The option needs to be enabled by the administrator before it is available for teachers and students. NOTE: If the Youtube website is blocked in your institution then the videos will not display.

Enabling the Youtube repository

  • Go to Settings>Site administration>Plugins>Repositories>Manage Repositories;
  • Select from the drop down next to Youtube "Enabled and visible";
  • If desired,click on "Settings" and give Youtube a customised name (not essential)
