Embedding Media

To add videos to your wiki page, you'll need 3 steps:

1. Upload the video to WPI's streaming server
2. Obtain the embed code for your video
3. Make a small change to the embed code and add to your page

1) Uploading to the media server

3) Publishing

1) Adding Media

2) Uploading

• Head on over to https://video.wpi.edu/app/SingleSignOn/default.aspx and log in. (If you go to video.wpi.edu, be sure to click on the "Login from Your Institution" link)
• Click the +add button to upload your video to the appropriate library
• Fill in metadata fields (Title, description, etc) and press Continue
• Upload your file(s) and click Continue to go to the Publish section
• Choose any playlists, if applicable, and click Save and Publish

2) Obtaining Embed Code

Embed Option

Embed Code

• Navigate to the Media Library where your video is stored
• Locate the sharing options beneath the preview image thumbnail. See image for the Embed Code option
• Copy the iframe code provided

3) Make a change to your embed code

Go ahead and past your code into the intended wiki page. Notice how the code starts with <iframe id= and ends with </iframe>. Those are iframe "tags"--a kind of markup used for web pages, but not for wikis. Make the following 2 changes:

1. Replace <iframe id= with <htmltag tagname="iframe" id=
2. Replace </iframe> with </htmltag>

And you're done!
