Important Additional Information
Definition of Embed in regards to YouTube and Vimeo - When you view a video on social media, often times you'll see an option to share the video. One way to share the video is to embed the video elsewhere. Youtube and Vimeo will offer a short piece of code that you can use to put into other pages.
Embed Video URL Privacy Settings
When using "Upload/Embed Video Lectures" and then selecting "Embed Video URL", the Learning Management System will retain any and all privacy settings that you have set on Vimeo or YouTube. This will ensure that videos that you have set as private will remain private.
