Embed YouTube Videos

Add YouTube videos to course/module/topic descriptions

How embeds work

Descriptions support Markdown and a small amount of safe HTML. You can embed YouTube videos by pasting a YouTube <iframe> embed.

Important: Only YouTube iframes are allowed (from youtube.com or youtube-nocookie.com). Other iframes are removed for security.
Note: You don’t have to add a <div markdown="0"> wrapper. BlitzGrok preserves valid YouTube embed iframes automatically.
Step-by-Step
1 Open the description editor

Go to the item you want to update (course, module, or topic) and open its edit form. Find the Description field.

2 Paste the YouTube embed iframe

In YouTube, click ShareEmbed, then copy the iframe code. Paste it into the description.

Example
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" title="YouTube video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Optional: if you ever see Markdown formatting interfere, wrap the iframe in <div markdown="0">...</div>.

Make sure the URL is an embed URL. It should look like https://www.youtube.com/embed/..., not watch?v=....
3 Save and verify

Save your changes, then open the page to confirm the video renders inside the description.

Troubleshooting
  • Video doesn’t show: ensure the iframe src is youtube.com/embed or youtube-nocookie.com/embed.
  • Other embeds removed: BlitzGrok strips non‑YouTube iframes for security.
  • Markdown formatting breaks the iframe: wrap the iframe in <div markdown="0">...</div> (usually not needed).
