Before embedding a video you should check that it relates to and supports your written content<\/strong>.<\/p>\n You should also check the\u00a0thumbnail for the video. <\/strong>If it’s caught between frames or doesn’t seem appropriate, don\u2019t use the video and flag the issue with whoever uploaded it to the channel.<\/p>\n When adding a video to your content always take the web address from the video’s embed code<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Protecting coral reefs video on YouTube<\/p><\/div>\n You\u2019ll also need to make sure the option to ‘show suggested videos when the video finishes’ is unchecked<\/strong>.
