011 Adding Multimedia

The directions that follow are for adding a movie that will play right from your page. For additional directions in using “Plugins,” please use the directions for “Inserting Plugins” found on the PBworks User Manual page.

 

Be sure you are in “Edit” mode to begin. Place your cursor in the spot on your page where you would like your movie window to appear. Next, click “Insert.”

 

 

When you click the "Insert" button, you will see a variety of options for things that can be inserted (more details for how to add other types of multimedia--referred to as "Plug Ins"--can be found on the "PBworks User Manual Plugins" page).  Select "HTML/JavaScript" to embed a movie.

 

 

Open a new tab on your browser and find the movie you would like to embed. Each site is slightly different as far as where the embed code is found. Some movies will not have an embed code, in which case it is easiest just to add a link to the movie on your wiki page (see “Linking to External Sites”).

 

 

Be sure you have the correct embed code (see below). Copy coding.

 

 

Paste the copied code into the “Enter code here:” box on your wiki page and click “Preview.”

 

 

By clicking “Preview,” you won’t really see a preview of your movie. You will see a green box with a message below saying you will only see the box in ‘Edit” mode. Click “Ok” at the bottom of the “Insert Plugin” page.

 

 

You will only see the green box in "Edit" mode.

 

 

 Once you save your wiki page, the embedded movie will appear[1].

 

 

Be sure to save your changes.

 

You can embed a movie on your wiki page as long as you have the embed code for that movie.

Footnotes

  1. Embedded movies will not appear on your page if your district has filtered a site. For example, if your district does not allow students access to YouTube, an embedded YouTube clip will not play from your page.
