How to add your videos into your online course on The Beauty Spectrum
Due to the large size of the videos being uploaded, we can only allow inserted links from third party hosting websites. What does this mean? No need to stress! Everything in your course stays the exact same but instead of uploading the video files to your course, you will be uploading the links to your videos.
If you are in need of a platform for video hosting a great option is Youtube or Vimeo.
How can I do this?
If you’re uploading a video from Vimeo, copy the link. For videos from YouTube or other third-party platforms, copy the embed code. Ensure that your videos are set to be unlisted and accessible only to those with the link or if it’s embedded, that would be even better. Embed the video only on www.thebeautyspectrum.com

- Upload Your Video to Vimeo:
- Log in to Vimeo and upload your video.
