Quizmaker 360: Adding Videos

Enhance your quizzes with videos from any of three sources: video files, websites, and webcams. (To add videos from Content Library 360, see this user guide.)

• Adding a Video from a File
• Adding a Video from a Website
• Adding a Video from a Webcam

Adding a Video from a File

Note: Videos will be automatically synchronized with the slide and controlled by the timeline. 

Here’s how to insert a video from a file:

1. Do either of the following:
   • In Slide View, go to the Insert tab on the ribbon, click the Video drop-down arrow, and choose Video from File.
   • In Form View, go to the Home tab on the ribbon, click the Media drop-down arrow, and choose Video from File.
2. Browse to the video you want to use and click Open.

MP4 videos are natively supported in Quizmaker 360. The following file formats get converted to MP4 in Quizmaker 360:

• 3G2
• 3GP
• ASF
• AVI
• DV
• M1V
• M2V
• M4V
• MOV
• MPE
• MPEG
• MPG
• QT
• WMV

Tip: If your video placeholder is hard to see (it could be a white, black, or transparent rectangle in Quizmaker), right-click it and choose Set Poster Frame. Then browse for an image file to use as the video placeholder.

Adding a Video from a Website

Quizmaker makes it easy to embed videos that are hosted on popular websites like YouTube and Vimeo.

Note: Website videos play independently of the slide and aren’t controlled by the timeline.

1. In Slide View, go to the Insert tab on the ribbon, click the Video drop-down arrow, and select Video from Website.
2. Copy the video embed code from the hosting website and paste it into the Insert Video from Website box.
3. Click Insert.

Adding a Video from a Webcam

You can even record videos directly from your webcam. Here’s how:

1. Go to the Insert tab on the ribbon, click the Video drop-down arrow, and select Record Webcam.
2. Before you begin recording, click Show device settings to choose the webcam/microphone you want to use (if you have more than one) and set the video size.
3. Click the red Record button to begin recording.
4. When you've finished recording, click the Stop button.
5. If you'd like to preview your recording before inserting it into your project, click the Play button.
6. To redo your recording, click the X to delete the current recording, then click the Record button to start over.
7. When you're ready to insert the recording into your project, click OK.
