Embedding YouTube videos into Rise
Hi folks. I'm looking to host videos for a Rise course on YouTube to keep the size of the scorm package small. I need to disable the "watch later" and "share" options that are within YouTube but I believe the only way to do that is to make the video private. If I make the video private, will learners still be able to access the video through the Rise course? Is there another way I can host videos on YouTube and disable those features? Thanks!

Hi LaurenMalfatti making a YouTube video private means that only specific users you have invited, via email address, will be able to view the video.
I don't think you can remove the items that you would like to. YouTube does offer some control over what is displayed by using parameters within the HTML embed. There is a full list of available parameters here: Supported Parameters
You use these parameters like this, on the SRC attribute of your embed:
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID?rel=0&controls=1"I think the rel=0 is a must. This prevents the "recommended video" thumbnails appearing when the video is compete.

This is great information, thank you so much for responding so promptly and thoroughly!
LaurenMalfatti : Instead of marking your thank-you reply as the solution to your question, it would be better to mark Sam's reply as the solution. That would keep it at the top of the page. And, since solutions are tracked, it will also give him the credit he deserves.
