3 You can support the learning process visually or auditorily with a short video or audio excerpt. These types of media can be used in different ways in a course or course element. Apart from file storage, which is less suitable for larger media files, you can also provide users with a link or play media directly in the course element.
4
5 A very simple way to integrate media is via the internal text editor. This page offers step-by-step instructions on how to do this.

8 Each media format can be played depending on the device and browser used. We recommend using the mp3 or mp4 formats.

21 == Make videos available via Embed Code ==

24 This option is suitable for videos that should not be uploaded to the OPAL learning platform because they are already available elsewhere. A video embedded in this way is displayed in the course view with a preview image. The video can be started directly from there by clicking the Play button. Users do not have to switch to another page or another tab.

29 To embed a video on an internal page, proceed as follows:

36 First, you need the **Embed Code** of the video. You can usually find this code in the editing area of your video platform. The[[ Finding Embed Codes>>doc:.Einbettungscode finden.WebHome||shape="rect"]] page describes where you can copy this code for individual platforms. Save the code to your clipboard.

91 If you use a video from the Videocampus Sachsen for embedding, please check the options set there for your medium in the “Visibility of publication” area. **At least the “hidden” and “allow anonymous access” options** must be activated for the video to be visible in OPAL.
92
93 Here is a small overview of the other options available there:
94
95 * Private: Not available to other users
96 * Hidden (if applicable + Anonymous): Can be found via a link
97 * Public (if applicable + Anonymous): Can be found via the Videocampus’s media overview
98 * Anonymous: Access is also possible without login. This is important for embedding media on other websites.

102 By using an embedded code, other content that is available via URL can also be integrated into an HTML page. You can find some application examples here [[Embed Content>>doc:LMS.Benutzerhandbuch OPAL.Lehren.Weitere Funktionen.Texteditor.Inhalte einbetten.WebHome]].

105 == How to insert a video link ==
106
107
108 If you do not want to present the video prominently, as it is more of a supplement to the text, you can integrate the video/audio file as a link. In this case, users are shown a link to open the video in a new browser tab if they want to.
