Examiners can embed videos hosted on the Internet or upload videos from a computer. Video clips can be uploaded in MP4 (H.264/MPEG-4) and must be less than 100MB in size.

Video type - select the type of video you want to use.

• Youtube - embed Youtube video.
• Vimeo - embed Vimeo video.
• Brightcove - embed Brightcove single video or player
• Hosted Video - default video type, which will automatically detect if the provided Source URL is Youtube, Vimeo, or a link to self-hosted video file

• Source URL - add the URL to the video file depending on the video type selected above

If Hosted Video is selected click Edit and a modal will appear to either upload or embed a video. There are three methods to upload a video:

• Click on Choose Files, and select the video from your computer, click Upload, then click Ok.
• Select the Embed Asset tab, and insert a video URL (like Vimeo, Youtube, or Brightcove) in the respective field, then click Ok.
