Github: Frequently Asked Questions

Can I embed a video in Github?

It’s easy to add a video in Github.

You can easily record and embed a quick video in a GitHub issue or comment with the ScreenPal Chrome extension from Screencast-O-Matic. Simply install the extension in your Chrome browser, then click in the text box in GitHub where you are working. Click the ScreenPal icon in the lower right hand corner of the text box, and then record your screen, webcam or both, with or without voice narration. You can crop or trim your video, and then when you click done ScreenPal will embed the video with an optional animated GIF thumbnail. You can then access, manage, edit and share all of your videos through your Screencast-O-Matic account.

You can also upload any .mp4 or .mov video file in issues, pull requests, discussions and more. You can use a free screen recorder like Screencast-o-matic to create videos to help your team reproduce bugs or understand design comps, save your video file to your computer, and then upload to embed your video in Github.
Can I add a video link in Github?

It’s easy to add your video to Github via video links.

First, upload your video to your Screencast-O-Matic account.

Once uploaded, you will find the video in your hosting account. Hover over the video you want to embed and click on ‘Details.’ Click on the share icon in Video Details.

You can customize the embed by selecting the size of your video, adding controls, captions or choose to add a title to your video. When done customizing, copy and paste the embed code to your platform.
