Hi @Jeff-TWU @dgaudet48 I don't have access to the video links you have shared hence I'm unable to embed it on the units. I have made all the other changes as requested.

[dgaudet48]

@Jeff-TWU I'm assuming Imbenzi needs to update the permissions? Is that the issue?

[Jeff-TWU]

@dgaudet48 I also don't have access. Yes it looks like Imbenzi will need to grant permissions. You can refer him here.

[Jeff-TWU]

@meher-ahmed I just sent you a share link, you should now be able to embed videos from that link.

[meher-ahmed]

Thank you @Jeff-TWU I'll start adding these videos to the course.

[meher-ahmed]

Hi @dgaudet48, all videos have been added to all units. However, since the previous links to the video didn't have access, I have added the new video links according to their labels. Would request you to have a look at all of the videos in all the units once and letme know if any changes are needed.
