Note:  Remember to select short clips to make it easier for other participants in the course to play it back. We suggest recordings no longer than two minutes.

1. Prepare a forum post. When you are ready to add a short video clip, click on the Add media icon in the toolbar.

2. You can add a short video file from the Link tab OR the Video tab of the Insert media page. For most situations, it is simplest to use the Link page.
