Embedding OneDrive Videos in Moodle

OneDrive can host a video and provide embed markup that can be pasted into a Moodle Page resource. This archived walkthrough demonstrates the flow using the 2016 OneDrive and Moodle interfaces.

Before embedding content, confirm that learners have permission to view it. For current OneDrive, use the sharing and embed options available to your organization, and test from an account without elevated access.

Summary

Embed code connects the hosted OneDrive video to Moodle without uploading the same media twice. Keep access permissions correct, provide captions where possible, and verify playback with a learner account.
