Quick question. When I embed a YouTube video as a web object, does that video get saved in Storyline. By this I mean, when I publish, will users need web access to YouTube to view the video or can they play it off-line with no internet connection?
Thanks Simon. I thought it might do that. Do you know of a way to get a YouTube video and have it within Storyline so people could watch the video without being on-line?
So this wont work with the articulate mobile player for offline viewing? If you download the content with an internet connection first and then view it offline - shouldn't it play? I tried this and it seems not.
Since with the mobile player or HTML5 output you'll need to insert it as a web object, if you are using the offline viewing functionality it will not be able to access the original link to play the video.

Hi David
Web objects pull content in from whatever URL you provide. It's a live connection, so yes, the learner will need internet access at that time.

Do you have the original video(s)? If so, you can insert them and have them form part of the published content.
How will you be delivering the content offline? Via LMS? File distribution? Some other method?
