Data Format

You don't need a spreadsheet to add a video. Instead, you can add videos from Vimeo and YouTube using their unique id codes. 

Find the YouTube id after the equal sign in the video's URL. For example, the URL 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDZFcDGpL4U

corresponds to the id code

zDZFcDGpL4U

 

The Vimeo id follows the slash after "vimeo.com". For example, the URL

http://vimeo.com/30581015

corresponds to the id code

30581015
