# YouTube Embed Tutorial for Research Guides

Use a YouTube embed only when the video directly supports a claim in the guide. For an interactive learning telemetry guide, a good video should clarify logging, evidence-centered design, stealth assessment, multimodal traces, privacy, or validity.

## Selection checklist

- Match: the video supports a specific section, not just the general topic.
- Verify: confirm speaker, title, host page or channel, and accessibility.
- Narrow: start at the relevant timestamp when only part of the video is useful.
- Explain: add one short paragraph saying why the video is included.
- Bound: state what the video does not cover.
- Protect: prefer the privacy-enhanced `youtube-nocookie.com` embed domain.

## Example used in this guide

Video: Valerie Shute, "Stealth assessment: embedded evidence-based assessment in games"

Why it fits: the video explains why interaction traces become useful assessment evidence only when competency claims, observable behaviors, and interpretation rules are designed in advance.
