Webobject

Aug 26, 2014

I have a webobject (youtube-video) that doesn't work when the course is published - the page is just blank. It is set to load automatically in the slide.

I can see in the tutorial that: "If your web content is located on the Internet or an intranet, learners will need permission to access it when they're viewing your published story. Otherwise, the web object won't work."

I don't know if this is the issue, but if it is, how do you solve it? It would be nice if the tutorial stated this ...

Hi Marianne,

As Michael mentioned, it may be that you're viewing the published content locally - and there is additional information here on what that may be causing errors on your end or not allowing your video to play. You'll want to load up to your web server or LMS (depending on publish method).

If you don't have access to a web server, here are a few free options to consider:

  • Tempshare: This is a free service provided by Articulate for testing Storyline content. Note: Uploaded files will be deleted after 10 days.
  • Amazon S3: Amazon S3 offers free hosting with generous usage limits. If you go over your limit, you'll be charged a graduated fee.
  • Dropbox: Place your published output in the Public folder in your Dropbox account to share it with others.
  • Google Drive: Change the story.html file to index.html, and set the sharing permissions to Public. Here's how.

Hope that helps!
