Obtaining Embed Code

Embed Option
  • 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

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!
