problems embedding videos

Aug 14, 2013

Hi there,

since a while, I have problems, embedding videos (i.e from youtube). After pasting the embedding code in the window and then clicking on "insert", it takes quite a while and then I get the message that the navigation to the website has been interrupted. Has anyone an idea, why it doesn't work any more? I haven't change anything on my computer, neither in storyline itself (as far as I know).  Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello Michael,

that's so strange, I have no idea what to do now. I mean, what else can I do than copying the embedding code and pasting it in the embedding field... Puh.


Annika, I suggest you post your file here for community folks to review or open a support case with Articulate. For what it's worth, here is the file I used to test your links.

Hi Laura, 

First, you'll want to make sure you're testing the video by publishing it and placing it within the intended environment, as trying to test it locally could cause you to encounter local security restrictions. 

I saw a similar thread, where Michael shared a few different ways of which we was able to embed a Vimeo video. Could you share a bit more about how you're trying to embed it and we can try it ourselves here if you'd also like to share a link to the video.

Hi Ashley,

The error is occurring when I try to embed the video by copying the embed code into the "insert video from website" function in storyline. I have tried multiple times with different videos including ones that have worked in the past. I have also tried inserting it as a web object and that didn't work either. There was a recent windows update and I know another person who wasn't able to embed video after the updates. They had to revert back to the previous version to get it to work. I am not sure if this is the issue I am having or not. I am using the most recent VMware to run Articulate Storyline.

Here is the embed code for the video

Hi Laura,

Thanks for sharing - I was able to insert it as a Video -> Video from Website with the embed code that I pulled off of the site. If you'd like to see my published version it is posted here: http://aterwilliger.articulate-online.com/9369955181

I'm using Windows 8, and tested the published content in Google Chrome. Are you able to view my published version?

Hi everyone!

Any idea why I might be having trouble embedding this link from ABC news?  It would be perfect for my students. Thanks so much for any advice!!
