I understand that if I want to insert YouTube video that will work on mobile player (iPad and Android) the only way to do that is through the Insert> Web Object.
But, and a big one, I can not figure it out how to close the video/make himdisappear when its finished..
There is no built-in way (e.g. a trigger condition) that can determine when a web-based video is finished. You have to provide a manual option (e.g. a Next button) to the user to advance tot he next screen.
I've attached a small demo where I embed a youtube video as described in the article How to add a YouTube video to Storyline - great article btw, including many useful optional parameters for youtube videos...
I published for HTML5 and tested on a iPad 2 with IOS 8.1 and safari, and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 with Google Chrome. Works fine on both tablets.
I just tried to publish to AMP, and I got the same results as you. On my Galaxy Tab 2 with Articulate Mobile Player, I only hear the audio of the youtube videos embedded in webobjects. Looks like a bug. You may want to submit a case.
Would you be able to share your file and the youtube video you are trying to insert? When you insert as a web object, it is best to click the "test link" to make sure the file will view in the frame.
Bjarne,
The file used in the .story file you provided would need to be viewed in a separate browser window:
When I published this to open in a new window, the file played as expected in the Mobile App on an Android Device. Nexus 7 Android 4.3.

Hm thats odd.. The youtube link was copied directly from your article, I received no errors or alerts telling me it needs to be opened in a new window, and it works fine on my pc and in html5 on my tablet - only in amp its sound only...

Hello Dorin!
Looks Like Michael helped you here, just wanted to say Welcome to Heroes!
the problem was that every object i put on the stage was behind the web object no matter what i did.
finally i solved it with changing the web object size.
thank you!
now, i have a new problem: in the ipad everything works fine!
but, in android tablets (galaxy tab 3) i can only hear the youtube web object sound
but not seeing it.

Hello Dorin!
Some of the youtube links were no longer valid, but I did test the ones that were still available through Youtube.
I did get the same blank screen while viewing in the AMP on Android.
i have sent this to our QA team for review. I will update here as information becomes available.
Hello Emily
I know about the broken link (im working on it).
Thank you for your help again,
Hope to hear from you soon!
Hi Emily,

Hello Dorin!
