Locate the Embed Code

Determine whether your content host allows sharing via embed codes. Locate the content you would like to embed on its ‘home’ website and look for an accompanying Share feature and an Embed Code.

Copy the Embed Code

Share and Embed Code locations/appearances will vary by website. Ultimately, you need to highlight and ‘copy’ the entire text of the Embed Code for the content you would like to embed.

Prepare a Content Item in Your Blackboard Course

With the Embed Code copied to your clipboard, navigate to the Blackboard Course Content are in which you would like to embed the content.

Submit the Content Item

An inactive yellow box will have appeared in your Blackboard Item’s default text area. Submit your Item’s changes to return to your Course Content page and preview the embedded content.
