====== How can videos be made available in Moodle? ======

===== Note about Youtube videos =====
<WRAP important>Please note that for privacy reasons Youtube videos can only be inserted into Moodle via a link. Direct embedding in the course interface is not possible!
</WRAP>

===== Provide Videos =====

Videos up to 256 MB can be uploaded directly to Moodle. For larger files the "[[en:video:hosting:start|videohosting]]" is better suited.
 
You can also link to the web address of externally hosted videos, e.g. using the "[[en:moodle:activities:link:start|Link/URL]]" element. Do you already know the [[https://av.tib.eu/|TIB AV-Portal]] for scientific films or the portal for open educational materials "[[https://www.twillo.de/oer/web/|twillo]]" (funded by MWK)?
