You can embed any YouTube video directly in a lesson page. Students watch it inline without leaving the lesson.
Adding a video
Type
/youtubeor pick YouTube from the+menu.Paste the full YouTube URL into the field.
Hit Enter.
The video appears as an embedded player at that point in the page. Resize it by dragging the right edge.
What works
Any public or unlisted YouTube link works, whether it's youtube.com/watch?v=, a youtu.be/ short link, or a Shorts URL. Private videos and videos with embedding disabled won't play, so test the link in an incognito tab if you're not sure.
A note on tracking
The embed uses YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), so students don't get tracked by YouTube ads while watching. This is the same player students see in Preview and in the published lesson.
Wrong video?
Click the video, then the trash icon in its toolbar. Or backspace from the line below it. Paste a new URL into a fresh YouTube block to replace it.
