Inserting YouTube Videos - Are you having any problems? Sep 24, 2015 By Marcy Massengale Hi Everyone, I am trying to insert a YouTube video, but I keep receiving the following error message "A video cannot be inserted from this embedded code. Verify that the embedded code is correct and then try it again." I have made several attempts to insert a variety of clips, but I receive the message with each one. Has anyone else experienced this problem Thank you, Marcy Massengale

CINDY LYONS Michael Hinze almost 6 years ago04/17/18 at 4:17 pm (UTC) I read and listened to Michael's video and tried to use the "Insert Video from Website" option. I followed his instructions and inserted this code: https://youtu.be/W8S1ME7lidA?t=6m&autoplay=1&modestbranding=1&rel=0 Storyline 360 displayed this error message: A video cannot be inserted from this embed code. Verify the embed code is correct and then try again. Can you embed a YouTube video into Storyline 360?

The embed code for your video is something like: "<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/W8S1ME7lidA?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>"
