Approach 1: Insert a Hyperlink to a Video
The simplest way to insert a video is to enter a hyperlink to its URL. This approach does not embed the video in the project. Rather, a user can click the link and view the video on the YouTube website.
Procedure:
1. On the Word ribbon, click Insert > Link.
2. In the left pane of the dialog box, select Existing File or Web Page.
3. In the Address box, paste the YouTube URL. In our example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeIV2XgNs2o&t=125s
4. In the Text to Display box, type any desired text. If you wish, the text can be a copy of the URL.
5. Save the DOCX file.
6. Generate the WebWorks ePublisher project.
7. Display the project output. You can click the link and view the video on the YouTube site.
Video behavior:
In Word and in all the output formats, you do not see an image of the video. Rather, you see only a textual link.
When you click the link, the YouTube site opens in a browser tab. You can play the video, and you can zoom it to full screen.
Below and next to the video, YouTube displays text, comments, and links to other videos that the user might choose to play.
Example:
