Adding Video Content

Video Support

The platform supports embedding video content in lessons. Currently supported video providers:

• YouTube — embed any public or unlisted YouTube video

Adding a YouTube Video

1. Open your lesson in the Content Manager
2. Set the Video Type field to "youtube"
3. Paste the full YouTube URL in the video URL field

Accepted URL Formats

The following YouTube URL formats are supported:

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
• https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID

Using Unlisted Videos

If you don't want your lesson videos to be publicly discoverable on YouTube:

1. Upload the video to YouTube
2. Set the visibility to Unlisted (not Private)
3. Copy the URL and paste it in Strapi

Unlisted videos can be embedded and viewed through the platform but won't appear in YouTube search results.

Video Placement

The video player appears at the top of the lesson page, above the written content. Students can watch the video and read the written content below it.

Tips

• Keep videos focused — One topic per video works best
• Set the duration — Update the lesson's Duration field to match the video length
• Add written content too — Complement the video with a text summary for students who prefer reading
