Embed Audio/Video Tool – 4Schools Help Center

The Embed Audio/Video tool is a main body tool designed to work in conjunction with video services such as Eduvision, TeacherTube, YouTube, or SchoolTube to embed information on a page. If your district website will include a large amount of video, CMS4Schools recommends subscribing to a service such as EduVision. Check out EduVision on our support site for more information.

Eduvision Embed Code

We recommend signing up for a 30-day Free Trial of EduVision. EduVision gives your school/school district their own video portal without advertisements. EduVision allows multiple levels of administration so that you can allow classroom teachers to post videos to their own channel or even their grade level/content area so that videos are very well organized. This is a great service to post student-produced video projects.

The EduVision portal was designed to be implemented into your schools' CMS4Schools web presence simply by adding a new page to your current site. Via an iframe, the entire video portal is delivered through your own video portal page. Additionally, individual video titles can also be embedded on your web pages via copy and paste embed codes that can be accessed by advanced contributors, the channel manager or site administrator. Starting in Fall 2011, your CMS4Schools offering will include additional integrated tools for finding and embedding EduVision video throughout your website. Single sign-on within your current CMS4Schools environment will also be supported at that time.

If you enjoy EduVision, please find out more about your exclusive EduVision pricing for CMS4Schools customers.
