Adding a YouTube Video

To add a YouTube video to your survey, will need to obtain the Embed code from the YouTube website, and copy it into the survey Editor.

Copying the Embed Code from YouTube

To obtain the embed code for the video:

2. Underneath the video, click the Share icon.
3. In the menu that opens, click Embed.
4. Highlight the code provided and press CTRL+C to copy. On a Mac, press Command+C.

Your video embed code will look something like this: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/d- T6rpHuuoJcw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

   • Check Make Responsive to automatically resize the video to fit
   • Check Show suggested videos at the videos end to display related videos when your embedded video has finished playing
   • Check Use old embed code to paste an older version of the embed code in the box
