Embed video from youtube, I got an error

May 19, 2015

The error is "A video cannot be inserted from this embed code".....

I tried

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://ca.screen.yahoo.com/drone-pilot-captures-dolphins-swimming-074955219.html?format=embed"></iframe>

and

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7Akvt9ZSOcg"></iframe>

The yahoo one works but not the youtube one which gave me the error. Please help.

The links to the video both work in the broswer though.

It's Articulate Presenter '13 and MS ppt 2010

Thanks

Hi Alfred,

YouTube videos that were added to Articulate Presenter content via Video > Add Slide Video from Website aren't currently working.

You'll see this message where your videos should be:

YouTube is upgrading to a newer version, which is not supported by this device or app. To learn more and see where you can watch YouTube, visit www.youtube.com/devicesupport

Google changed support for the YouTube API, which prevents videos added in this manner from playing in Articulate content. We've asked Google to reconsider their decision (Google Data Issue 7146).

In the meantime, we recommend adding YouTube videos as web objects instead. As an added benefit, YouTube web objects are supported in Flash, HTML5, and Articulate Mobile Player output.

Hi Tamara, 

We have not heard or seen any updates from Google, and if you use the link I shared above you can see it's still open on their end. You can comment or "star" the issue there if you have a Google account and help give more priority to it. 

In the meantime, I'd still recommend adding YouTube videos as web objects for the reasons mentioned above.
