I've added a web object (YouTube video) set to display within the slide automatically. When I preview the web object, it works fine. However, when I publish the Storyline file, the web object does not display. Am I doing something wrong? I've attached the slide I created, so that you could see all of my settings...
For inserting a video as a WebObject, Michael has the solution. It's all about the URL! The support page link he provided is extremely helpful for various uses of video, too.
With YouTube, you can also insert it using the Embed code from the videos YouTube page. Instead of "Insert > Web Object" you would "Insert > Video > From Website"
On the video's YouTube page, click on the "Share" button just below the video. Several options become available including the Embed option. Click "Embed" and a chunk of code becomes visible. Copy that code.
As mentioned above, in Storyline go to "Insert > Video > From Website" and paste that Embed code. This method also works in offline Preview mode so you can see how the video plays prior to publishing. You also get all the same controls to start Automatically, When Clicked, or via Trigger. And, turning on Storyline's Player seekbar you'll be able to pause/play.
I've attached an version of your .story file with an extra slide showing the above.
Be sure to check out the link Michael provided too. Lots of great tips and insight.
One possible cause of embedded pages not loading can be mixing secure and insecure connections. When your course runs on a secure connection (https):
you cannot embed an insecure connected website (http), because your web browser will rightly identify this as a security risk and block the embedded website from loading.
The best way to get around this is to only use secure connections, the worst is to only use insecure connections.

You need to change the URL of your video to: http://www.youtube.com/embed/bNw89HUHKEk . For some other info on using YouTube videos in Storyline., see here: http://www.articulate.com/support/storyline/how-to-add-a-youtube-video-to-storyline

Hi Denice and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! It looks like you're getting some great help here, but if you need anything else please let us know!
Wow, thanks for the prompt and detailed assistance! And thanks for optimizing my original intention with this slide. Greatly appreciated!
Glad it helped you out Denice!
I was trying to embed a webpage (http://www.abs.gov.au/websitedbs/d3310114.nsf/home/Population%20Pyramid%20-%20Australia) in Storyline 360. The preview works well and all the functionality of the website is available. When I publish it on Articulate 360 I get a blank page. What should I do?
its working fine with 360 publish.
Are you using the latest version of 360? just take update and publsih the build it will work fine.

Thanks for this info. I have embedded another webpage (https) and it works. I thought it was linked to the program but NO. Good to know and check!
