Using Google Docs to embed videos

Did you know that you can use Google Docs to upload a video and generate an embed code? I didn’t until today.

This is a nice workaround for a way to embed videos to a web site without having to put it up on YouTube, TeacherTube, or some other sharing site.

The advantages of embedded content are streaming (faster loading), greater compatibility, and preserving context (not sending your user/student off somewhere else).
