YouTube Videos

To add a YouTube video, go to the YouTube page. Click on Share below the title of the video.

 

That will give you a menu for Share, Embed, and Email. Click on Embed.

 

 A line of HTML code that begins with <iframe will appear. In the line of code, highlight the web address for the YouTube site that is located there. Start with https://www.youtube.com/embed/ (do not include the quotation marks). Copy the web address.

 

Paste the copied URL into the URL box in the iFrame Properties box. That should embed your video. Continue to "Reset Video After Playing" and "Make Videos Responsive."

 

Vimeo Videos

The process is essentially the same for embedding a video from Vimeo.

To add a Vimeo video, go to the Vimeo page of the video. Click on the "Share" button below the title or on the video.

 

 

That will give you a menu for Share this video with Link, Email, and Embed.

Click on Embed. A line of HTML code that begins with <iframe will appear. In the line of code, highlight the web address for the Vimeo site that is located there. Start with https://player.vimeo.com/video/ (do not include the quotation marks). Copy the web address.

 

Paste the copied URL into the URL box in the iFrame Properties box. That should embed your video. Continue to "Make Videos Responsive."

Reset YouTube Videos After Playing

If you want to have the video return to the start of that particular video when it concludes, rather than going to a new video or showing related videos, just add ?rel=0 after the URL when you paste it in the iFrame Properties box. Example: For the video above, you would put https://www.youtube.com/embed/E_qE0aIpzGg?rel=0 in the URL box.

---

Make Videos Responsive

Once you have the URL entered, enter in a title for the video.  If you are still in Drupal 7, you can go to the advanced tab and in the “Style” box, paste the following code: position:absolute; width:100%; height:100%. 

 

 

Once you have entered the code, click on “OK.” That will return you to the page. NOTE: You will not be able to see the video on the edit screen. It will show up on the edit screen as a white box outlined in black with iFrame written in red in the middle.

Now that you have added the iFrame video to the page, click on the “Source" button in the editor menu or if you are still using Drupal 7, the "Disable rich-text” link just below the editor box.

 

This will show a view of the page in HTML code.

 

Find the start of the code for your video, which begins with <iframe, and place the cursor just before the <iframe

 

Make sure the iFrame has the style="position:absolute; width:100%; height:100%" in the video code.  If it does not have all of that code, add anything missing, then paste in the following HTML code just before the <iframe at the beginning: <div style="position:relative; width:100%; height:0px; padding-bottom:56.25%;">

Then paste in the following HTML code just after the </iframe> at the end: </div>

 

The final code all together should look something like this:

<div style="position:relative; width:100%; height:0px; padding-bottom:56.25%;"><iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UZEy9FVn7s4?rel=0" style="position:absolute; width:100%; height:100%" title="video"></iframe></div>

 

 

After you have added all of the HTML code, you can click the source button or the “Enable rich-text” link in Drupal 7 to return to the normal editing screen.

The iFrame box will not appear differently, but the video will now be responsive on the live page once you have saved your page or, if you are using a Drupal 8+ version, on the preview page.

Embedding videos from the media.uoregon.edu channel

Step 1

Currently the only way to embed a video from the media.uoregon.edu channel is in the source code view which is accessed by clicking the Source button or the Drupal 7 "Disable rich-text" link.

 

While in the source code view, find the location where you want to insert the video.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR WORKING IN THE SOURCE CODE VIEW

One way to find your place when you switch to the source code is to type into the regular, non-code view a series of letters that don't exist anywhere else on the page, such as "vvvvv."

 

 

 

Then click on the Source button or the Drupal 7 "Disable rich-text" link just below the editor and use the find function (CTRL+F or CMD+F) in your browser and search for that string of letters, such as "vvvv" or whatever you used, to find where to insert the code in the source code view.

Once you have found the location where you want to have the video, you will need to copy and paste one of the below text options:

Step 2

To embed a media.uoregon.edu video you need to get the embed MP4 link. To get the link, browse to the video page you want to embed and click on the "embed" button/link in the upper left of the video and copy out the full .mp4 video URL:

 

NOTE: Make sure you grab the entire URL from the https:// through the .mp4 and not one of the other URLs that are in the same code. A full URL should look something like this: 
https://is-cc-media.uoregon.edu/media//OHC/2017/UOToday2017/UOT_688_lo…

Step 3

Go back to your video page and update the items that were in bold from Step 1 with the relevant URL links to the media.uoregon.edu video:

• https://VideoUrl.mp4 - This is the full mp4 URL you copied from Step 2.
• URL - This is the URL of the media.uoregon.edu page and not the embedded .mp4 URL.

Save your page and you will see the video on the page, full width or, if you placed the video in grid, it will be only as wide as the grid item.

If you want to modify the grid order, please see the section on Grids for more information.

NOTE: You must use the above method to insert media.uoregon.edu videos, otherwise the video will autoplay when the page loads and will not be responsive on mobile or tablet devices.

Inserting Videos from Other Sources

Very rarely you may run across a video from somewhere other than YouTube, Vimeo, or media.uoregon.edu that you need to embed. Should you find yourself in this situation, you will need to insert the video using an iFrame.

Place your cursor where you want the video to be inserted.

Click on the iFrame (globe) icon on the right-hand side of the formatting bar.

That will bring up the IFrame Properties pop-up box. 

 

Paste the URL from the video into the URL box of the iFrame pop-up.

Adjust the Width and Height relative to your video requirements.

Click the OK button, and your video will be inserted. Note that you will not see your video until you publish your page, when the iFrame content is updated.
