YouTube video issues

Hi Kathleen,

I can get you partway through the issues. One thing is a browser security thing, particularly with Chrome. It won't automatically play media when it is at the very beginning of a module. That's why you were getting the big play button.

I duplicated the objects on your screen, and set up a very short initial screen that automatically goes to your first screen. Also set up a web object that shows the video with a play button. Was not clear if you wanted it to start somewhere other than the very beginning, so it starts there.

Unfortunately, I can't get the audio track to start without the user clicking somewhere on the screen. Have not been able to figure out why, because I have several other modules which work exactly the expected way, that is, an initial screen followed by a screen with narration.

I hope someone else might be able to look at it. 

If you need to get this done immediately, I'd suggest you replace the quick initial screen with an intro title slide, and have the learner click Next. Then everything would work as expected.

Thank you. I see that you have solved some of the issue. But yea, can't figure out why you have to click somewhere on the screen to get the VO to play. And it would be odd to have to have them do so. But I do thank you for your effort and getting it this far!

Hi Kathleen,

It looks like the example that David shared advanced without user interaction, so that's why the audio is not auto-playing.

Here is some documentation on the browsers that may be helpful.

I'd advise an intro slide of some sort that the user interacts with, even as simple as a click to confirm they are ready to get started.
