Then, click "Find".

Now, click the blue "Warpwire Quiz" link.

You will be prompted to add media. If your course Media Library is empty, simply upload or capture a new video. Click the grey "+" button below the Account menu. Then select "Upload Files".

In the Media Embed Settings, check the box next to Graded Activity. If you would like to personalize the video, like showing Interactive Transcripts, enabling Autoplay or hiding metadata, you can do that now.
When you are ready, scroll to the bottom of the window and click the blue "Save Embed Settings" button.

Select Graded Activity to save embed settings with gradebook.

With embed settings saved and Gradebook enabled, you are ready to insert your media. Click the blue "Insert" button to do so.
