    • YouTube: Visit the desired YouTube video URL. Click on the "Share" button below the video. Copy the embed link found in the "src" attribute value from the embed code and paste it into the YouTube embed URL field in the "Add Video" window.
      • URL: Enter the direct link to an externally hosted video.
        Added videos will be re-accessible at the History panel located below the source settings

        You have now sourced the video for your question. Click "Next" to move on to adjusting the video size.

        Should you desire to do so, you can limit test-taker interaction with the video using the following options:

        Allow pause: Enables test-takers to pause playback.

        Allow navigation: Allows test-takers to move forward and backward within the clip.

        Restrict navigation: Prevents test-takers from rewinding or skipping ahead, ensuring they watch in order. 

        Limit listening count: To limit the number of times that a clip can be played, simply uncheck the "Allow going forward-backward" checkbox and select from the options starting from "Unlimited" to 10 times maximum.
