Selecting Youtube from the Build Content feature is currently resulting in an error.  This was caused by a change in the way Youtube has structured it’s integration tools, and Blackboard has not yet responded with a fix.Instructors have two choices for workarounds:

Basic Option:

  1. Go to a YouTube and find the video you want to place in your course.
  2. Copy the URL and paste it into the Content area you want students to access.

Better but lengthier option: Embedding a YouTube video directly in the Text Editor:

  1. Access the YouTube video you wish to embed.
  2. Copy the Embed Code found underneath the video and select the box Use old embed code. You must select Use old embed code in order to avoid visual display problems in your course.
  3. Go to Blackboard and select Build Content > Create Item.
  4. Type in the name of the video and click the HTML source mode “<>” in the text editor.
  5. Paste in the embed code and click submit.
