How can videos be made available in Moodle?

Videos up to 256 MB can be uploaded directly to Moodle. For larger files the “videohosting” is better suited.

You can also link to the web address of externally hosted videos, e.g. using the “Link/URL” element. Do you already know the TIB AV-Portal for scientific films or the portal for open educational materials “twillo” (funded by MWK)?

2. click on the icon “Insert or edit audio/video file”.

If the upload size is limited, check the settings in the Moodle course room: “Uploads - change maximum file size”.
