Embedding audio and video
Audio and video may be embedded in a course in the following ways:
- As a file resource
- As a URL resource with embed as the display option
- In a lesson popup
- In any text area using the Moodle media button in the text editor or simply by typing the URL of media file
The media file link is then replaced with an appropriate multimedia player which can play the resource.
