How To Add a Video to Your Project
This How-to is intended for:
exhibit developer, Second Life developer
Add a YouTube or Google video to your project's home page
Purpose
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then how many is a video worth? Make your idea more compelling with a short video clip.Prerequisities
First, record the video and upload it to YouTube (or to Google Video). For help with this part of the process, see http://www.youtube.com/t/howto_makevideo
Step by step
- Log in and go to your project's home page.
- On the right of the green edit bar, click on Add Item and choose Google Video (even if it's a YouTube video!).
- Fill in the Title and (optional) Description fields.
- Fill in the video DocID. You don't need the whole URL for the video, just the part after the = sign. For example, if the URL is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R31UbuDKRts, then the DocID is just R31UbuDKRts .
- If you leave Autoplay checked, the video will start to play as soon as the page loads (this is probably what you want).
- The image is optional and unnecessary.
- Click Save and you are done.
