I've embedded dozens of Vimeo videos in the past following the online tutorial, so I know I'm not making a user error.
Now when I embed a video, it plays fine in the Preview window, but once I publish it to two different LMS's, the video does not appear at all. I've never had this issue before, and I see that someone else has recently mentioned a similar issue. Could someone please look into this and see if Vimeo has changed their code or something?
I have a question i am running sled11sp1 linux desktop but when i clicked on your link it opens and plays fine. the issue i am having is it opens the video is another browser window not embedded. do the web objects need to be setup differently to be viewed embedded on linux desktops
Nope, they shouldn't need to be done differently. The web object is just a matter of displaying a webpage in an iframe. So, as long as your browser supports iframes, it should be fine.
What if I don't want to embed the video as a web object? I'd like to have more than one video per slide. I can do this in PPT by embedding the video, but lose the videos when I publish in Articulate. Embedding as a web object allows only one per slide.
Could you fake a "single slide" by putting each web object on a different slide? For example, if you wanted to create a playlist of 4 videos, create a slide master with 4 buttons, hyperlinked to their respective slides. Then use the Hide slide function in Slide Properties to make it seem like a single slide.

OK. I did this, but for some reason the hyperlinks do not work. I have tried to link via picture and via button. I have tried hiding the slides and unhiding the slides. The hyperlinks refuse to take me to the designated slides.
Any ideas as to why? I have attached the offending PPT slides for your--or anyone's--review. The idea is to click the photo, which will launch a video.
Sorry to be bogging this down, but I just found this:
Hyperlink to a place in this document
If you include a hyperlink to a “place in this document,” please bear in mind the following restrictions:
Slides you have hidden in PowerPoint will not display in your published output. Any hyperlinks you create that go to a hidden slide, therefore, will not work.
That doesn't help me at all. So, now embedded video doesn't work nor does hyperlinking.
I should have been more clear. Not hiding slides in PowerPoint, but in the Articulate > Slide Properties Menu. I played around with your PPTX file. Since this is all static images, I took the first slide and copied all the objects onto a slide master. I did have to ditch the transparent rectangle shapes over the images though; that seemed to do the trick to make the hyperlinks work. But by making one slide master, I only have to change that one slide master if edits need to be made to the whole set. The presentation slides themselves have nothing on them except for the web object. I re-attached your file.
I've tried web object for vimeo and no good, and tried following Brian's example re: code but after a couple of hours trying everything I'm stuck. Can someone put some bullet points together for someone feeling quite 'thick' about how to simply embed my vimeo video to a slide. Can't find a tutorial for this and can't follow Brian's brief example. Sorry!
You need to test web objects online so after you create your content, try viewing it online via a valid HTTP address. If you don't have access to a web server, you can test it this way:
Hi Justin - where do I actually play around/include web objects cod? I have access to a test web server? Above, Brian attached the web object code which I found via page source, but where do I actually put it?
Are you saying you'd like a way for the web object to not sit on top of your other content? Have a look at this third-party unsupported workaround to see if it fits your needs. Let us know...
I embedded and publish my Vimeo video. When viewing the published presentation with, the slide with the video prompted me with the following message, "Warning: The web object feature on this slide has been disabled while viewing locally because your browser does not support it." I've also attached a screenshot of the Warning prompt.
I'm using the following embed code:
I've tried using various browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, & IE). I was unable to successfully view the video in all fo those browsers mentioned.
Please advise on what I should do to successfully publish and view my Vimeo video in my presentation. I'm approaching a tight deadline and it's urgent that I get these videos working.

Hi Jack & welcome to Heroes,
I embedded a Vimeo video as a web object. Here's the results:

I've also attached the code for the web object. I hope that helps!

Interesting...I'll give it a try and let you know how it works.
Thanks!
Jennifer, you can also have multiple videos in a quizmaker slide (as long as you have the video, doesn't work with web objects).
I'm sure there are a few screenrs on this...David has a good collection of using video and quizmaker: http://multimedialearning.com/creative-ways-for-using-video-in-quizmaker/
Hi Brian,
I am trying to download this index.html file, but cannot open it. The amazon URL displays, but the page is blank.
Thanks,
Jennifer

Don't look at that one. Look at this one.
I have changed the "invisible" objects to 99% transparency as advised on another post. Still isn't working.

I made a quick screenr for you.

made the video and see you already posted...
Tom and Minh-Triet, I cannot thank you enough.
You think you know a program, and then try to get fancy. So, thank you both very much for making me look good. I really appreciate your time.

Hi guys,
I have a problem.
When I add web objects, the tab is attached below my web object.
Correct attachment tab (swf content): http://i.minus.com/igyiPcCi9aXmf.png
Tab wrong (it is hidden below): http://i.minus.com/iHzSZff9jn8P7.png
Kings regards,
