Embedding Video on a SharePoint Page

In an effort to provide additional training resources for our staff we have begun creating short videos demonstrating how to use a particular software application. Our company uses SharePoint as our Intranet. We wanted the ablility to embed these videos directly into a webpart on a page within SharePoint. This page also contains webparts for links to corisponding documents and a survey.

To embed the videos I performed the following steps:

• Create a Webpart page with a general layout.
• Add a Content Editor Webpart.
• Select Source Editor in the Content Editor
• Input the following script in the Source Editor:

p align="center">

OBJECT id=playera height=575 width=650
CLASSID="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"
ID="WMP">

PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="mms://192.168.0.92/outlook2007.wmv">

PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="false">
/OBJECT>

• In my example above you will need to add a <>
• Change the "URL" VALUE= to point to your own video. Ours points to a media streaming server on our network.
