Youtube Clip in Storyline

Hi Z!

There are two different ways to insert a Youtube video into Storyline. Are you inserting as a video or as a web object?

You might want to try re-adding the videos as a web objects, if you haven't already. Then you can set the auto play options.

Here's a link to a tutorial on this topic.

Here's some information on the auto play feature for a web object:

autoplay

The autoplay parameter determines whether the video will automatically play when the user reaches the slide that contains the YouTube Web Object or whether the user must click on the video to start playing it. The autoplay parameter accepts the following values:

• 0 means that you do NOT want the video to autoplay (default)
• 1 means that you want the video to autoplay

Let us know if you need any other information!

Christine, thank you! You're a life saver.

I was instering the Youtube clips as video and as I mentioned some of them played automatically and others didn't - even though I set them all to play when clicked.

Thanks again! I appreciate it!!

Christine: Thanks for the above article on inserting youtube vids. So it seems that I can have the video stop at a certain point.

Question: can I get it to START at a certain point, as well as stop at a certain point?

My guess is nuh-uh, but thought I'd ask. Thanks so much. --Daniel

Hi Daniel,

If I'm reading your question correctly, check out the attached (you'll have to publish it of course to get it to work)

It's a 2:08 video that I set to start at 16 seconds and end at 40 seconds

It's a really cute dog video (but I'm biased) so you might actually want to watch the whole thing!

Hi!

It sounds amazing. I've tried everything but my youtube doesn't appear in a published version. Rebecca, I've tried it even with your file and it doesn't work either. Any ideas why it doesn't work?

Thanks

Hi Olga,

If you're testing it locally, that may be the problem, since your computer, your browser, or other things could be blocking it. Here's the Storyline support article about that.

Please shout out with further questions. Someone in the community will jump in.

Hi Olga! Looks as if Becky is taking care of you here, just let us know if you need anything further.

Thanks Rebecca! You are right. It works fine now

Thanks for the update Olga and thanks Becky for helping out here

Hi Leslie and Olga,

My pleasure and glad it was a relatively simple fix.
