My Embedded Vimeo video doesn't play when published

Hi,

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:

<iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/88257205" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>

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.

Thanks,

Brittany

Hi Brittany!

Be sure that you are viewing your content as your learner would in the environment in which it was published. 

If you view published Articulate Presenter content on your local hard drive or send it to someone else to view on their local hard drive, you'll encounter security restrictions from the computer, web browser, Flash Player, and network that'll cause various features to fail. To test your content and share it with others, you'll need to upload it to the environment for which it was published. Here's how.

Thank you Leslie. Your advice did the trick. The only issue I'm experiencing now is that my video is encountering problems in Firefox. It works perfectly in all of the other browsers, except for Firefox. When I try to play the video, the presentation exhibits weird behaviors and doesn't play the video. It appears to be an odd overlay within the presentation. Any suggestions on how to solve this issue?

Thanks,

Brittany

Hello,

Attached you'll find my PPT presentation of the slide I'm encountering problems with. Again, my video works perfectly in all of the other browsers, except for Firefox. When I try to play the video, the presentation exhibits weird behaviors and doesn't play. It appears to be an odd overlay within the presentation. Any suggestions on how to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Brittany

Hi Brittany!

I'm not seeing any strange behavior when I publish your example.

Here's yours:

It actually is 'off' center for me in IE and Chrome, but perfect in Firefox, which is the exact opposite of your reporting.

Here's your video in a new file:

Can you let me know what you see when you look at my published links? Just trying to narrow things down
