To embed a link to a video in one of our databases just look for a "permalink" or "persistent link" or "title URL".

To use the embedded code for viewing within Blackboard look for a link to the embed code and copy and paste in Blackboard. Please note: if you try to embed the video in Blackboard and you get a blank screen, this is because of a security setting in the browser, just click on the shield symbol in the address bar and allow the unsecure content to be displayed.
