What is the best way of embedding media in Moodle?

See Video and Audio.

The video player is not appearing for me. I only see a link or embed code text.

Make sure that the Multimedia plugins filter is on in Site administration > Plugins > Filters > Manage filters.

Note: the order of filters matters, as they are processed in order such that one filter may affect another. For more details, see Managing filters.

How can I have embedded media resized appropriately?

The administrator can set a default size from the VideoJS player page, and course teachers can resize individual videos from 'Display options' when clicking the Media button in the Text editor upon adding a video file.
