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!

Lauren

    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.
