Embedded video plays with weird background overlay in IE8

Jan 27, 2015

Something seems to be wrong with the iframe on my mp.4 videos in Storyline 2 when viewing them on IE8 (standard for my organization).  It works fine in Chrome.  I'm using Storyline 2 and am embedding a video from Vimeo.  I tried this with the same video uploaded to Wistia and had the same problem.  It kind of looks like a framed video is playing over the same video.  I hoping someone know of a quick fix here!

Hi Chris! I took another look and had my colleagues check as well and we are unable to see an issue with the content viewing in IE8. This leads me to believe that it is a setting on your end. (Testing included utilizing both Windows 8 and Windows 7 machines)

Are you able to reproduce this on another computer?

Hi Leslie.  I tried your example on another computer with IE9 9 and I still see the frame move when I hover my mouse on and off the video.  Unfortunately I am using a computer with a standard image for our organization so whatever I produce has to work on this device with the present settings.  I think for a workaround here I will launch the video from Vimeo in a new browser window. Not quite as slick - but it works. We can't expect modern. high-functioning elearning when using out dated browsers.  Thanks for your help!
