We can also enhance videos that we want our students to watch with comments. For that reason, we need to again use the channel that we have created on YouTube. We upload the video that we have edited to our account and we enhance it with comments in our account.
First of all, we need to choose the video to which we will add comments, and we have to think about the information that we want to add to it. Therefore, as previously mentioned, we can add comments to the video that we had edited before.
Follow these steps to upload a video:
- Click on Upload (on the top margin) | Upload a video (on the left-hand margin).
- Browse for the video that you want to upload and click on Open.
- You can publish the video as either Public or Private. Therefore, click on the ring button that you desire. Click on Save changes.
- Click on the downwards arrow within your user's name block and choose My Videos.
- All the videos that have been uploaded in the account will appear. Next to the video to which comments are to be added, click on the downwards arrow in the Insight block, as shown in the following screenshot:
- Click on Annotations, as shown in the previous screenshot.
- Within Annotations, you can choose to add them among these options: Speech bubble, Note, Title, Spotlight, or Pause, as shown in the following screenshot:
- You can choose when to add the annotations and the type. After inserting the annotations, click on Save | Publish, as shown in the following screenshot:
- You can choose the font color, font size, or background color among other options.
- You can also change the time period in which the annotation appears, as well as including videos, playlists, and channels among other options.
When playing the video, we can read the annotations written in the video. They will be displayed as we have designed them. We can upload the said video to our Moodle course copying the embedding code, as shown in the following screenshot:
There are also other options available to share this video, such as e-mailing, copying the link, or even using social networks, as shown in the previous screenshot.
