If you have uploaded a video to your YouTube account or want to link to an existing public YouTube video, here are the steps for adding that video to your AsULearn course.

Pro-Tip: If you upload a video to YouTube with the intention to use it in AsULearn, or any other site, make sure that in the YouTube Video Details, select Allow embedding. This will allow you to use the link. If you don't select Allow Embedding then the link won't function. Also, if you ever try using a publicly shared YouTube link and it doesn't work in AsULearn, then the original publisher of the video most likely did not Allow embedding of their media.
