Embed Mandala Video Assets in UVACollab

You can embed Mandala Audio-Video and Visuals resources in your own website with iFrames. An iFrame lets you add HTML content within another HTML page. This tutorial will walk you through the four steps necessary to embed Mandala AV assets in your Collab site:

2. Open the Main Menu again
3. Click My Content, then My Collections

   • You'll see a list of all the collections that belong to you

4. Choose the collection which contains the video you want to embed
   • The collection will open
5. Open the video you want to embed

   • The video and its metadata will open

   
6. Click the Share icon in the bottom right corner of the video display
