Embed A Video on Your Website from Google Drive

Now that Google Apps for Education has unlimited storage you should fill it up with video! I use the Snagit Chrome extension to create screencasts that are automatically saved in Google Drive. (Click Here for Extension. Click Here for Snagit App. You need both!) I suggest you set your sharing settings on the TechSmith folder to anyone with the link can view so you do not accidentally share videos that do not have sharing permissions.
