The HTML editor allows for you to embed videos within just about everything in D2L: Announcements, HTML Content pages, Discussions, Assignments, Quizzes, gradebook feedback, an several other places. In this example, I will demonstrate the steps using announcements but these can be duplicated in any of the aforementioned tools.

  2. Place your cursor where you wish to embed your video.
  3. Within the HTML editor look for the button (about midway through the upper line of the HTML editor that is labeled Insert Stuff. The button itself contains what looks like a Play Pause Record and Stop button:
