# Embedding a Youtube video in Moodle

There are many instances that require a Youtube video to be added to your Moodle website. Moodle has the HTML feature that allows different HTML scripts to be placed on the site. This is where a Youtube video can be inserted. This article will explain how to insert an Youtube video in the Moodle 2.3 Frontpage.

### Inserting a Youtube video

1. [Log into the Moodle Dashboard](/support/edu/moodle/moodle-login-administrator/) **Important!** Keep in mind that [Editing must be turned on](/support/edu/moodle/creating-courses-in-moodle/) in the Settings section in order to edit any of these options.

In this example, the following code is being used. <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fvtNh3-UFeA" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe> **Important!** If the Youtube video is connecting to Youtube with https://, the box will display black. To make the box show the video, use https:// in the url of the iframe code. **Click Save Changes**. [![embed-youtube-video-4-moodle](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/edu_moodle_109_embedding-youtube-video_embed-youtube-video-4.gif)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/edu_moodle_109_embedding-youtube-video_embed-youtube-video-4.gif) Now the Youtube video will display on the page similar to the snapshot to the right.
