Embedding a Video in a WebWorks ePublisher Project : Overview

Overview
The SampleVideo project illustrates how to embed a YouTube video in a source document that you process in WebWorks ePublisher. Users who view the ePublisher HTML output, such as an online help website, can play the video.
In this sample project, I created the source document (SampleVideo.docx) in Microsoft Word 2016. You can use similar techniques to embed videos in Adobe FrameMaker or DITA source documents.
You can use the Word ribbon tools or ePublisher passthrough code to embed the videos. The best approach depends on the kinds of output that you plan to generate from the DOCX files, and how you want the users to view the videos.
I created the project in WebWorks ePublisher Designer. The project has an almost factory-default configuration, except for the video configurations described explicitly below. The project has the following outputs:
The sample video that I used in this project is a WebWorks training session entitled "Reverb 2.0 The Do's and the Really Do's":
