After you do this, set a name for the source. Emby Beta Addons will do. Click OK.

This will have added the source to your system. Now, from the main menu again, head to System -> Settings -> Add-ons -> Install from zip file. You will see a list with all the sources you have added and possible locations to install from. Scroll until you find the Emby Beta Addons source you just added, and then click it. Select the .zip within the Emby Beta repository, typically named repository.beta.emby.kodi-x.x.zip (with the name including the version number). Wait a few seconds and you should get a notification confirming it was installed.
