Samar Hossam's SharePoint Spot: Content Editor WP: Add a video to a MOSS site

A. Introduction Today, I would like to present a great role of the Content Editor Web Part, namely I would use it to embed a video on a MOSS site. For this article, I am going to use a very interesting video that I have just watched on TED.

B. Get a video from TED 1. Browse http://www.ted.com/. 2. Search for a video that you would like to share with your colleagues on MOSS. I have chosen Nathan Wolfe: A jungle search for the next pandemic virus. 3. Browse the video and click the Share button.

4. Click the Copy button beside the Embed this video field.

5. Save the copied text to any temporary text file.

C. Add the video on the MOSS site 1. Browse the MOSS site on which you would like to share the video. 2. Click Site Actions > Edit Page.

3. Click Add a Web Part, scroll down till you find the Content Editor web part, select it and click the Add button.

4. Click the Open the tool pane link.

5. Click the Source Editor button.

6. Paste the Embedding Code, which you have saved earlier on in a temporary text file. And click the Save button. 7. Unfold the Appearance node and write a descriptive title for the Content Editor Web Part.

8. Click the OK button to save the configurations of the Content Editor web part. 9. Click the Exit Edit Mode button on the upper right corner of the page. 10. Now all your colleagues can watch the video whenever they visit this page.
