How do I embed a video file?

Edmodo does not have a built-in video player. If you upload a video file, students will have to download the file to watch it on their device. We recommend embedding a video from a site such as YouTube, TeacherTube,or SchoolTube. Both sites have the embed link available. Copy and paste it into the “link” facebox in your post. All you need is the URL provided on the video sharing site you use and Edmodo will pull the video into your post. Since YouTube is often blocked at schools, TeacherTube or SchoolTube are good alternatives.
