Searching for and using a YouTube video


Use the following procedure to search for and use a video from YouTube.

To search for and use a YouTube video:

  1. Open the search panel.
  2. Set the content types filter to YouTube Video.
    Note
    The external type Video (YouTube) is not the same as YouTube Video. If YouTube Video is not available as an external type, the integration with YouTube is not configured. See Configuring the YouTube integration.
