Embedding Video Via Web Objects
Feb 13, 2019

Hi! I'm trying to embed a video via a web object in Storyline or insert a video from a website. However, my embed code isn't working.
I'm getting the embed code directly from vidyard and putting it in the space provided when I click insert video from a website, but it tells me it isn't a valid embed code.
Then I tried inserting as a web object. When I did that, i could see an image from my video in preview but Storyline told me preview wouldn't work for web objects. So I loaded it into my LMS, but then the video didn't show up at all.
Any ideas about why this might be happening would be much appreciated!

Webobject do not work in Preview, that's expected behaviour. Make sure the URL you used in your webobject starts with https://. Can you share the video URL/embed code here so that someone can take a closer look?
Hi Michael, I'm not sure I can share the video. But the code does begin with https://
I copied the code directly from vidyard's "embed your player" page.
Michael, I checked and it's okay to share the code. Here you go: https://embed.vidyard.com/share/ysszzvksGzTND4SLVccfGX?
Hi Liz!
This particular video has restrictions that doesn't allow it to be displayed in a frame. But don't worry, you have two other options:
Would either of those options work for you?
Hi Alyssa. We'd prefer to make the video work within the frame if possible. Can I change the restrictions so that it can be displayed in a frame? Would I do that via vidyard?
I adapted the embed code of another vidyard video and this seems to work when published to Web and Articulate Review. See attached a quick example with your video id. I would still check with vidyard support about the "official" way(s) to do this properly.
Thanks Michael. The file you attached worked for me!
