Question from an email I received:

Currently on you website it says when I want to embed a video I have to use this syntax: [[media object='{“filename”:”ghmp-basic-skills-20121001.m4v”,”download_url”:”http://downloads.digital-campus.org/media/pnc/ghmp-basic-skills-20121001.m4v”,”digest”:”3ec4d8ab03c3c6bd66b3805f0b11225b”}’]]Test Video[[/media]] But when I do this, the text comes as is in the page on the phone. Where should this be inserted on moodle? I pasted it under page content and that is how I go this result.

And my reply:

For the video embedding, when the code is exported to Oppia and you see it on the phone, is the text the you see a link? If so, then clicking this should open the video (or tell you if it's not downloaded on your phone).

If you'd like to show an image for users to press to launch the video, then you can replace the "Text Video" text in the moodle page with an image instead. It's not yet set up to automatically pull in a screenshot from the video (as you get with, e.g YouTube video embedding)
