Embedding VIUTube Videos in a Wordpress post or page

Embedding video from VIUTube into a Wordpress post or page works slightly different then within D2L or other content management sites. For the VIU Wordpress network you should use the oEmbed code option when selecting your embed code from within VIUTube.

Locate the video you want to embed on VIUTube and select the oEmbed option for Embed Type.



Copy the embed code from the text field, it will look something like viutube.viu.ca/public/id/0_bpx2c1u



On the post or page you are adding the video to, insert the oEmbed URL on its own line. Try to avoid hitting enter after pasting the URL, thereby creating a page break.



When you publish the post or page you should see the video on your Wordpress site.
