I was asked recently by a fellow e-learning developer about how to include a YouTube video as a web object in Articulate. Here are some useful tips...
When you go to a youtube video, there is a little segment that identifies the video (shown here in red) in the address:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VqTwnAuHws
Copy that identifier (in this case it is 0VqTwnAuHws), then paste it at the end of this text:
http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/
This gives you this new address:
http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/0VqTwnAuHws
If you use this version of the
address, the video will fill the available area in the web object.
If you want the the video to autoplay when the user gets to the slide, not show related videos at the end, and hide “annotations” (the labels people put over the top of a video), you can format it this way:
http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/0VqTwnAuHws?autoplay=1&rel=0&iv_load_policy=3
(All the stuff in red stays the same no matter what YouTube video you use)
There is a lot of good information on these parameters here:

Addendum:
Instead of using
http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/
as the prefix, I think I am instead going to use:
http://www.youtube.com/embed/
because it will be more compatible with HTML5.
So that last example would be:
http://www.youtube.com/embed/0VqTwnAuHws?autoplay=1&rel=0&iv_load_policy=3
Thnx for the tips Will !
You helped me a great deal
Thanks for that Will.
Are you aware of the "Knowledge Base" section over at the main Articulate.com site?
There's a very similar article there - http://www.articulate.com/support/kb_article.php?product=st1&id=naw70kv2nkvi

Thanks Bruce! I didn't see that when I posted this originally. It is definitely more comprehensive! I would suggest that they add this link though... might as well get the source from Google: https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters
are these instructions for Storyline only or will they work with Studio?
how to find out original site link from embedding website.
For instance:-
