Embed video from youtube, I got an error
May 19, 2015

Alfred Chen
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:
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.
Thank you. I was receiving this error. I was concerned I did something wrong.
Glad that you were able to figure it out based on this thread - and we'll keep folks posted here if there is any update.
Thanks Ashley, i was having the same problem. I will use the web objects solution
Sounds good Erica, glad this thread helped you out as well.
Hello all,
Thank you this thread was very helpful. Is there any update from Google regarding the comment of "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)."?
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.
