Embedding YouTube Videos and Other Media

You can embed YouTube videos and other media in CaC, here is some examples of how it works and how is can be used in CaC.

General Guidelines

Images, videos, and gifs shouldn't be added to the Git repo of your course. Adding media files to the repo will result in its size getting exponentially large with every added file and will make contributing difficult.

For now make sure to upload your videos to your favourite hosting service. YouTube is a great platform for videos, and Imgur is great for images. Both support private (unlisted) media where you can only find said media through a provided link.
