Play YouTube Video on Trigger

Sep 07, 2022

Hello!

I'm using Storyline 360, and I'm trying to get a YouTube video to play using a trigger. I've tried altering the embed code, but I can't seem to get it to work. Does anyone know of a workaround, or does the learner always have to click the "play" button for YouTube videos?

Thanks!
Dakota

Hello Dakota!

Thanks so much for reaching out!

Embedded videos cannot be triggered to autoplay in Storyline. It’s being controlled by the website/video that you are utilizing. 

Here is an article that could be of assistance to you: Storyline 360: How to Add YouTube Videos.

In this article it explains:

I also found this related forum that might provide some workarounds for you.
