Embedding From an External Source
If you are embedding a video from an external source, such as YouTube, you must take the embed code provided by YouTube and add ?wmode=transparent to the end of the URL. For example:
Sample YouTube source embed code:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xyz" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Add ?wmode=transparent to the end of the URL:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xyz?wmode=transparent" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Important: If you do not add ?mode=transparent to the end of the URL, the video displays improperly.
Embedding From an Internal Source
If you are embedding a video that is being hosted locally, use the <video> tag to ensure proper functionality. For example:
Sample internal source embed code:
<video width=”320” height=”240” controls>
<source src=”/ACME_Company/video.mp4” type=”video/mp4”>
</video>
