How to embed a video from your school library

Summary

• Open Library Editor from your profile menu.
• Find your video and select the Share icon.
• Select Get embed code, then select Show Options to adjust settings.
• Choose a player size and optionally enable Autoplay.
• Copy the embed code and paste it into your website, VLE, blog, or other platform that supports embeds.

Where you can embed a ClickView video

You can use the embed code anywhere your platform supports embedded video, such as:

• Virtual learning environment (VLE) pages and modules
• School or multi-academy trust websites
• Teacher blogs or class webpages
• Intranet pages and staff portals
• Any online tool that accepts an embed code

Tip: If your platform only accepts links (not embeds), use a share link instead of an embed code.

Steps to get an embed code

1. Select your profile (top right of the screen), then navigate to Library Editor.
   
2. Locate the video you want to embed and select the Share icon.
   
3. Select Get embed code.
   
4. Select Show Options to view and adjust embed settings.
   
5. Choose your preferred Video size. If available, select Autoplay to start playback automatically.
   
6. Copy the embed code.
   

Paste the embed code into your platform

In your website builder, VLE, or blog editor:

1. Open the page where you want the video to appear.
2. Find the option to insert embedded content (often called “Embed,” “HTML,” or “iframe”).
3. Paste the embed code (Embed URL) and save or publish your page.

Note: The exact steps vary by platform, but the embed code is used the same way in most tools.
