<div class="img-center">
  <div class="video-wrapper">
    <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src=""></iframe>
  </div>
  <div class="img-caption">
    <div aria-label="expand content" class="toggler">img caption here<br>
    Click for transcript.</div>
    <div aria-label="additional content"><p>Insert transcript here. Use text, ordered lists, tables, etc.</p></div>
  </div>
  <div class="img-credit">video credit here</div>
</div>

REMINDER: Turn off Related Videos in Drupal
Append each YouTube url with ?rel=0 to eliminate the related videos at the end of the video.
For Example:  <iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_a6wT1LnxW8?rel=0" width="420"></iframe>

When ?rel=0 doesn't work to stop suggested videos

Insert "-nocookie" after youtube and before .com in the code. Be careful not to type -nocookies. The embed code will look like this: <div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/DJJiB_QVQds?rel=0" width="560"></iframe></div>

And if the "-nocookie" code is not working to stop the suggested videos, go to YouTube and get a new embed code for the video and try again.

• Find and open the downloaded WORD file.
• Copy and paste the text into Drupal where it says "Insert Transcript here".

NOTE: If there was text in the video that wasn't read out loud, add it to the transcript.

NOTE: we are unable to edit or upload caption files to external videos but we are still required to add transcripts.

• Attempt to contact video owner to request better captions at least twice
• You can even offer to have the video transcribed for them. Use this sample email as a template.
• Document your correspondence (add directions here)
• If you don't hear back in a few days, follow the following steps above:
  • Upload to 3Play Media
  • Edit/Check Captions
  • Add Transcript to Drupal
• Now send the .srt file to the video owner with instructions for uploading the .srt file to their YouTube video.
  The instructions can be found at the bottom of the sample email page.
