Quick tip
In ClickView, should I use Autoplay for embedded videos?
Autoplay can be helpful for short announcements, but many browsers and platforms limit autoplay (especially with sound). If autoplay doesn’t work reliably, leave it off and let viewers start playback manually.

Where you can embed a ClickView video

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

  • Learning management systems (LMS) pages and modules
  • School or district 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.
    Hand pointing over the 'Library Editor' option under the account profile
  2. Locate the video you want to embed and select the Share icon.
    Hand pointing to 'Share' icon inside a folder of Library Editor
  3. Select Get embed code.
    Hand pointing to 'Get embed code' button in the 'Share link' pop-up window
  4. Select Show Options to view and adjust embed settings.

  5. Choose your preferred Video size. If available, select Autoplay to start playback automatically.
    Hand pointing over the 'Video size' dropdown options of the 'Share link' pop-up window
  6. Copy the embed code.

Paste the embed code into your platform

In your website builder, LMS, 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.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. In the embed options, select Autoplay (if available) before copying the embed code.
In Library Editor, select the video’s Share icon, then select Get embed code. The embed code is shown in the sharing settings.
Your platform must support embedded content (for example, an embed/HTML block). If it does not, you may need to share the video using a link instead.
