The embed settings allow you to include or exclude a transcript with the dropdown menu from "choose player". Note: if the transcript is enabled, the student is able to download the transcript. The "max embed size" lets you choose the size of the embed and determines how big the video will be where it is embedded. The thumbnail embed and autoplay can be turned on and turned off. 

Note

If you want to include a transcript, thumbnail embed cannot be enabled because it prevents the transcript from being shown. 

If you would like students to only view a section of the video when they first play it, you can enter a start and end time below the video. This will not prevent the student from watching the entire video, but will focus them on the section that you would like them to view.
