Embedding a youtube and hidding the title

Embedding a youtube and hidding the title

Hi all,

Using Moodle 2.9.1 (Build: 20150706)

Trying to write a multiple choice question in a quiz, where the student will see a short video and have to recognize what it is he saw.

The problem is that the video is displayed with the title overlaying it, and the title of the video is the answer.... blush

Obviously easy answer is to upload the video using a different title, but since the video isn't mine i'd rather not do that...

Thanks in advanced!

There are a large number of parameters that you can choose from listed at https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference and you can test them at https://developers.google.com/youtube/youtube_player_demo

The main one you will want is showinfo=0 which hides the title. The start and end options will be useful too.

The problem is that I don't think you can disable the right click menu which means the students can still get to YouTube and find the information you are trying to hide. Also the YouTube logo in the corner will take you to the video too.

I don't think you will be able to achieve what you want whilst using YouTube as the source of your video.
