How to Upload Videos to YouTube, and then to the LMS

This article guides you on how to upload videos to YouTube (YT) and then to the Phew LMS. Screenshots in this article used with permission from Greenwich SCP.

Before you begin uploading your video, you will need to get a screenshot to be used as the thumbnail on YT. To do this, open the video in your chosen media player, and take a screenshot of the opening introduction screen of the video, and use the print screen/prt sc button on your keyboard. You can then paste this image into Paint or Word, save the image to use later in the process.

Once you are logged into your YT account, click Create in the right-hand corner:

Select Upload Video

Click Upload Thumbnail, and locate the image you created in the first steps of this process.

Scroll down to Audience, and select 'No, it's not made for kids.'

NB: Restricting the the video to those under 18 will limit how you can use the recording.

Choose the visibility of the video from the options shown:

Then click Save.

You will then receive a Video Published success message, and you will be able to copy the video link:

Then, login to the Phew LMS, go to the eLearning course you are adding the video to and click edit:

Once in the edit section, locate the the chapter of the course you want to add the video to and click edit:

Then you will need to add a new Flexible Content option using the drop-down menu, selection one of the video options:

Then, scroll down to the source box, and paste the YouTube link you copied into the box, and type ?rel=0 at the end of the link - this will disable the video from advertising or linking other videos on YouTube:

Once this has been done, click the Add Flexible Content button, and this will save the video changes. You can then preview the course to make sure the video appears as you want it to.
