Standards and Guidelines: Deeplinking to Videos

Select the video collection you want to deeplink to:

• links provided for videos and playlists in ClickView e.g. https://clickv.ie/w/Ojdk

• Who can see this shared video or playlist needs to be set to Just my school.

Use URLs provided at the Share option that includes the TAFEcat prefix e.g. Record URL for full videos, Page URL for series or Segment URL.

Deeplink example: https://tafecat.tafensw.edu.au/tafecatalog/index.jsp?eResource=https://fod.infobase.com/PortalPlaylists.aspx?wID=273851&xtid=154493

At the video record, click on MORE INFO. At the pop-up window click </>EMBED. Then copy the link provided under Video URL e.g. https://tafensw.safetyhub.com/embeddirect/TH1GSF6T/2339799.

You can collect the deeplinks via the TAFEcat records of Ideas That Work.

You can create authenticated Single Sign On (SSO) links (Also called deeplinks) to LinkedIn Learning content which will take you directly to the course or video after logging in with your TAFE NSW username and password. These links can be shared within TAFE NSW.

Option 1 - Wildcard prefix

When logged in to LinkedIn Learning:

• copy the link from the URL field
• add the wildcard authentication prefix
  https://www.linkedin.com/checkpoint/enterprise/login/57684225?pathWildcard=57684225&application=learning&redirect=

Link example from the URL field: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/learning-excel-2019/build-your-foundation-in-excel?autoplay=true&u=57684225

Deeplink: https://www.linkedin.com/checkpoint/enterprise/login/57684225?pathWildcard=57684225&application=learning&redirect=https://www.linkedin.com/learning/learning-excel-2019/build-your-foundation-in-excel?autoplay=true&u=57684225

Tip: If you want to prevent the video from starting automatically, you need to change the autoplay option from "true" to "false".

Option 2 - Authentication suffix

When logged in to LinkedIn Learning:

• copy the link from the URL field
• add the authentication suffix &auth=true 

Link example from the URL field: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/learning-excel-2019/build-your-foundation-in-excel?autoplay=true&u=57684225

Deeplink: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/learning-excel-2019/build-your-foundation-in-excel?autoplay=true&u=57684225&auth=true

Or change the autoplay option from "true" to "false" which prevents the video from starting automatically.

https://www.linkedin.com/learning/learning-excel-2019/build-your-foundation-in-excel?autoplay=false&u=57684225&auth=true

Always test your links before sharing them. If you need help creating authenticated SSO links, contact library staff.
