Basic Knowledge of YouTube

Before banging the core part of this article, let’s go through some information about YouTube.

Since the Big Bang moment of the Internet, YouTube has come up as a platform where people can upload their videos to the Internet.

For nearly 20 years, YouTube has been a great source of video content for people all around the world. This video platform is most common in the form of websites and mobile apps in the App Store or Google Play store.

Unlike Vimeo, you can upload videos to YouTube without worrying about the limited number of videos. You may also livestream on it, too. To make money on this platform, you must acquire a certain number of viewers on your videos so that you can turn on the business option and receive money from views or ads.

One thing that makes YouTube more popular than Vimeo is that you are not limited to post videos. However, the contrast consequence is that the quality of videos on Vimeo is definitely better than on YouTube. People spending money on hosting space will surely cherish the things they have and embed a YouTube video.

Set Private Videos

Sometimes, we want to embed a YouTube video in website but don’t want it to appear publicly, such as a private learning video. Thus, you will make it private and embed it in your course or any related stuff.

Make a Video Private First, Shall We?

First of all, you should set a video to private before any attempt to embed it. In your YouTube Channel’s studio, you will navigate to “Content”, click on the wanted video, select “Private” in “Visibility”, and click “Done”.

Then, click on “Show more”, find the option “Allow embedding”, enable it, and click “Save” to save changes.

Of course, when you set it to Private, only you and the people with the link can see the video.

Basically, there is not any difference between a Public video and a Private video when embedding – they still show up and are playable. Even if you embed a Private YouTube video, it will show up unless you enable “Allow embedding” as above.

Remember to copy the embed code of a video first. Open a video (must be from a PC or laptop to get the embed code), right-click on that video, and click “Copy Embed Code”. There you go!

Embed a YouTube Video Into a Course

To embed into a LearnPress course, open LearnPress > Courses > Add New/Edit a course > add the embed code into the Text description, and click Publish/Update.
