I've been trying to embed a youtube video into a course and I cannot seem to get it to work. The error message I get every time I try is " a video cannot be inserted from this embed code. verify that this embed code is correct and try again". I tried everything, even watched and read numerous material online. I've tried inserting as a video and still nothing. Any advice would help.
Does the video not play when you publish it? Have you uploaded to the intended publish environment or are you attempting to view it locally after publish? If so, you could be encountering browser and security restrictions as detailed here.

Using embed codes for YouTube videos does not currently work. Insert the videos via a webobject instead. Here is some info.
Hi Michael,
Thank you for your response. I have tried that and It's still not working :(
Can you share the link to the video here?

Hi Ashley,
It doesn't allow me to publish at all, I cannot get passed the error message when I try to embed it.
Here is the video I am trying to embed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zllUkxGxqd0&feature=youtu.be
Here is the embed code:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zllUkxGxqd0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
In your webobject use this URL: https://www.youtube.com/embed/zllUkxGxqd0
I tried this, and nothing :(
You also need to upload the published content to some server to test. See here a quick example.
Hi Yomna,
As Michael showed you'll need to use the URL for the web object and then upload to your intended environment.
Hello guys
same pb, Is there any solution here ? If "insert videos form website" doesn't work, why Articulate still proposes this option in STL ?
Hi Lei,
Here's an example of a video from YouTube I embedded on a slide using Insert Video from Website.
Are you having trouble with an embed code from YouTube? Could you share the embed code you're using? Thanks!
