Add You Tube videos to ArcGIS Online web maps

When just adding photos to my ArcGIS Online web map was not enough for me anymore, I tried to add a
You Tube video. To my surprise it only took a few steps to accomplish that.
1. Create a point shapefile and add a field (text) to it which will contain your You Tube link.

I have also added an Info field which I will use as the Pop-up title of my pop-up box

2. Open a new mxd and add the point shape file you have just created. Now place a new point
wherever in the world you would like your video to be displayed.
3. Once you have created a new point, go to You Tube and navigate to the video you would like to
display at this point.
4. After you found it the desired video, click on Share -> Embed and copy the embedded text
that displays.

5. Paste this text into the Video column of your newly created point. I have also changed the width
and height, so it better displays in Arc GIS online.

Width 250 and height 200 worked best for me.

6. Once you have created all the points you needed and you have added videos to each point, save
your edits and exit your mxd. Navigate to the folder the shapefile is located and create a zip file
of this shapefile.
7. Open a web browser and navigate to a new empty map or to an already existing map ArcGIS
online map.
8. Add the newly created shapefile to your ArcGIS online web map.
9. Once you have added your shapefile, you need to configure the pop-up box.



10. As the Pop-up Title I have chosen the INFO field of my shapefile. For the Pop-up Contents
choose A custom attribute display and then click Configure.


11. In the custom Attribute Display add your VIDEO field value.

12. Click OK, and then Save Pop-up.
With these simple steps you have added You Tube videos to your ArcGIS Online web map. To check out
