Embed Video in Storyline not working
May 01, 2014
Hi,
Is anyone else having issues embedding a YouTube video in Storyline?
I have tried using the from website, copied the link to mbed from YouTube. First thin I noticed is that it did not include the HTTP:. Alas it did not work either way (with or without the HTTP. I even tried HTTPS.
So next I tried as a web object. It worked.
I then tried to embed a video from VIMEO, it worked fine.
Anyone know why embed for Youtube is NOT working, yet I can get it to work in Vimeo?

Here is some info on two options to add YouTube videos to Storyline. I have used both options many times with and never had an issue. Can you share the YouTube video's URL?
thanks Michael, I tried both methods....this is how I found embed was not working from youtube. I tried it with several videos.
Now, I am on windows 8.1 and I am in Canada. However, I can watch the YouTube videos with no issue.
try this video as an example
thoughts?
Hi Shawn,
Were you going to insert a link to a particular YouTube video? Or maybe you did, but I'm not seeing the link?
Hi Shawn,
I'm also not seeing the link to the YouTube video, but if you're able to share it with us we can test embedding it ourselves as well.
I am also trying to embed a video and its not working. I cannot post the youtube link as they are unlisted videos. can that be a problem?
Hi Progyamita,
Restricted YouTube videos won't play within your storyline content as described here. If it's not a restricted video, you'll want to make sure you're following the steps here to include it and then test your published content within the intended environment.
I had trouble with YouTube videos not loading from Storyline within my VLE and was advised to change the embed URL to https. This works for me.
Thanks Jack for sharing that solution here with us!
I can't seem to get this one to work... any ideas? I'm trying to embed the video (from website)

Hi Jane,
As Wendy mentioned there has been some changes to YouTube's API structure and as such some videos are not working properly when embedded. You may want to look at inserting as a web object instead as described here. If the embed code isn't working, there are also some additional components you could review here.
