Here I’ll describe the process of embedding your on-site speech video onto the Google map.
Part 1: YouTube
Log into YouTube and upload your speech video.
Once you’ve uploaded your speech video to YouTube, you’ll click “Video Manager” using the drop-down menu next to the “Upload” button at the top of the page. Once you click Video Manager, you’ll see a list of all of the videos that you’ve uploaded to YouTube.
Click the link for your speech video. This will open your speech video and begin playing the video. If you look below the video player, you’ll see several tabs including “About”, “Share”, and “Add to”.
Click on “Share” and you’ll see a new series of tabs revealed below with options including “Share this video”, “Embed”, and “Email”. You’ll click on “Embed”, which reveals the HTML code for embedding your video.
Copy the HTML Code, and then you’ll go back to Google Maps.
Part 2: Google Maps
Once on our Google Map you’ll need to log in, so you have the ability to “Edit” the map. Once logged in, click “Edit” to both “Drop a pin” as well as to Name and Edit the description.
“Drop a pin” by selecting the blue pin in the top, left hand corner of the map. Then move the pin to the location you selected for your speech site.
After dropping the pin, make sure to “Name” the pin with the location name.
In the “Description” space below the name of the link, click “Edit HTML” and then PASTE the HTML Code that you copied from YouTube into the “Description”. Then Click “OK”.
Now look over to the left side of the screen, and Click “Done”.
Lastly, go and click on the pin that you’ve dropped and edited. When you click on the pin, it should bring up your speech video from YouTube inside of the Description.
