I want to add a YouTube video to my Rise presentation, but I want it to play from the LMS and not allow the learners to click on any other YouTube links once the video stops playing. Is this possible?
Hey there, Deliteful! If you're using a multimedia > embed block, you can grab the YouTube embed link, and even choose your embed options not to include suggested videos at the end:
If you notice the actual embed code, this parameter determines whether or not related videos will be suggested at the end of the video:
rel=0 means related videos won't display
rel=1 means related videos will display (default)
If you have a downloaded video file instead of a web-hosted video, use the multimedia > video block. You can upload it directly into Rise. Change the placeholder video to something you have saved on your desktop:
Let me know if you need a hand with either technique!
Excellent! This was so helpful. Thank you for the walk-through.
One last question, I have a PDF I want the Learner to view in the middle of a lesson. I was going to use the Button block because I like how it looks, but then I have to add the URL where the PDF is located. I don't have a URL to link to. Is there another way to add it, besides the attachment block.
You could look at uploading your PDF to a web server and link to it from there. The button block can only link to a website, another lesson or an email address. You could also look at adding an Attachment block separately and use the Button to link there if you wanted to keep that type of setup?
Has the user interface for this changed? I do not see any options to customize how an embedded Youtube video displays other than "show metadata" and the general settings (ie. padding, background color, etc.) I really like the idea of being able to block other suggested videos at the end and would like to know how to do this! Thanks!
The settings Crystal shared above are available in Youtube, not in Rise. However, it looks like Youtube may have gotten rid of the option to disable “show related videos.”
You can find YouTube’s settings for embedding video when you click on the Share link and select “Embed.”
Hey there, Dig. There isn't a setting to loop a video block in Rise 360. Does the video have audio? If not, could you convert it to a looping .gif file and insert it using an image block instead?
This thread has been very helpful. I actually clipped the video to remove adds and essentially avoided the suggested adds. However, it doesn't stop at the end of my clip, it loops.
How do I stop the video from playing once the clip has ended?
Hi Keishon! You can adjust the parameters of your iframe code to stop the video from looping. See this article for some helpful tips regarding additional parameters, which include information on how to loop or stop your video from looping. I hope this helps!

Also, if it is just a video I have downloaded how do I add it?
