Embedding a Microsoft Video into a Sharepoint Online Site
Hello Could someone explain if it is possible to embed this video from Microsoft into a Sharepoint online site? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/videoplayer/embed/RWeolz?pid=ocpVideo0-innerdiv-on...
- AnonymousJan 22, 2019Hey testio2. Looking now, I don't remember exaclty the steps I took to find your link. But there are many ways you can find it. I tried to find it again, for example, and all I had to do was open the Developer Tools, go to the elements tab and search for "mp4". That would highlight a pretty long and minified script tag. If you paste that tag into an editor like NotePad++ and search for mp4, you can see the link of the video. Indeed looking through the Network Tab will only give youfragments of the video. I guess I used that only to make sure I was hitting the correct address.
Did you solve your embed problem btw?

Deleted Thanks! How did you get that link or find it?
- AnonymousJan 17, 2019testio2, you're welcome. If you hit F12 on Chrome and go to the Network tab, you can see where the requests are coming from. From there you don't need to dig a lot to find the source. Now you can upload it to Sharepoint and add it to your page, use a tool like Stream or anything!
