  5. Paste the video URL or ID in the source video section and click Load
  6. Click to select whether you are or not the owner of the video
  7. Click to mark whether the video meets any of the criteria:
    • Is used for instruction

    • The video will be used across multiple classes or quarters
    • The video is used specifically in class that is listed in the WA 45
