Quick Tip for Adding Movies to a Web Site!

Lots of you are customizing your webpage with videos from You Tube!
There are lots of great Spanish Videos out there.....

Kim and I have been doing this for the new Interactive Kindergarten website and we are learning some tricks!

The problem we needed to solve was the fact that after the video we put on the site played...
a whole bunch of other videos show up as choices at the end of our chosen video.....arghhhh!

Here is the solution that we discovered!


Go to You Tube and select the video you want to use.


At the bottom of the video there is a button that says SHARE.









When you click it you get this at the bottom....

Click on the little button that says embed.... 




You get this screen with the html code you will need.....

notice the check box that says "show suggested videos when the video finishes.....

UNCHECK this box....

and THEN copy the new code that appears.....

Paste that code on your webpage and you will not see the suggested videos that are the problem....

Hurrah!  Success......

We are looking for a way to use You Tube videos that don't have all the You Tube stuff around the edges.....so if you discover a way to do this, let us all know!


Here is the link with complete directions for embedding a You Tube Video

Have a great day!
