Embedding Vimeo video
When I use the embed code that I use for other platforms, Rise seems to ignore the settings of my code. for example, on my video, I remove logos and titles so the fact that Vimeo is the host melts seamlessly into the background. With Rise it not only creates a vimeo frame but ignores all the embed options that work in wordpress for example. Is this normal?
Hi all,
Just an update here - a fix was shipped to Rise to resolve the issues you were experiencing here where the iFrame embed code was not being respected. If you run into any other issues with that feel free to let us know here or reach out to our Support Engineers directly.
Hi Ashley,
I'm still having this issue in Storyline 2, should we expect an update which will resolve this? Are you aware of any video platforms where the full screen button works when embedding it into Storyline and uploading it to SCORM cloud for example? FYI - i currently use Vimeo but i'm open to any similar video platforms as long as the full screen button is available.
Thank you
Hi Lewis,
Thanks for checking in on this set up! When you embed videos from websites, such as YouTube and Vimeo, in Storyline 2 courses, you may find the fullscreen button for these videos is either missing or doesn't work in your published output. For security reasons, many web browsers are started restricting fullscreen mode for embedded iframe content.
We provided a programmatic solution for this issue in Update 10 for Storyline 2 (we're now on Update 11). Do you know which update of Storyline 2 you're using? You can easily check by going to the Help tab -> About Articulate Storyline. You'll see the update number listed there. We'd always recommend being on the latest update to have access to all the new features and fixes! You can download and install the latest version of Storyline 2 here and then you'll want to republish your courses to take advantage of those things. You mentioned SCORM Cloud, and some LMSs, such as SCORM Cloud, don't allow website videos to toggle into fullscreen mode.
When did you purchase Storyline 2? You may want to reach out to our Success team to talk about the options for upgrading! Articulate 360 has a lot more than just full screen videos in Rise! You can check out this comparison of Storyline 360 to Storyline 2 for some more information, and then take a look at all that you get with the Articulate 360 subscription!
Good timing, Mark. We're looking at embed options right now. Can you send a Peek video or screenshot that shows how you want it to look, like when it's in Wordpress? And also the URL you are testing. Thanks!
Here you go Adam
If I use the embed code I get from vimeo, I get just the title and Vimeo label
If I use the same code in Articulate 2 or straight into wordpress I get the video as I specficy. (see second screenshot
Essentially, I don't want any links pointing to Vimeo or any branding of Vimeo. that's why I pay vimeo to have my own branding and certainly don't want uses clicking away from my site!
Thanks
Hi-Are there any particular settings that you use when sharing the video from Vimeo? For example, I want the video to only be viewable to a specific audience. Would I change the settings to Anywhere? My concern is that it will be accessible to others.
The video will be embedded on a slide in Storyline 360. The course will be accessed by the specific audience in my organization.
Hi Faye, I do something similar with my videos.
What i do is edit the privacy settings, Who can watch this video? - I amend this to Hide this video from Vimeo.com.
Then for the embed settings like you said, change to Anywhere.
Embed the video into your course and share the course with the specific audience.
The video is no longer searchable in Vimeo because we have hidden it and the only people who can see it are the people you have either shared the embed code with or the people who view your 360 course.
Hope this helps
Thanks Mark - we'll dig in here. BTW, your second attachment didn't work. It shows just 0 Bytes.
Hi Mark, would this look at embedding video also address the quite old issue with Fullscreen attributes being removed from iframes? When you embed a video from Vimeo, the full screen option disappears even if you have the attribute enabled in the embed code
For example: <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/189562895?autoplay=1&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="1100" height="619" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen="" mozallowfullscreen="" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>
The full screen option is disabled when the output is reviewed. This is made with Storyline 2 and reviewed in Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
We're working on a change so that when you paste your embed code we'll respect it outright.
Well that is good news. So, this affects all products? This is about Rise, but I use Storyline 2.
Great news. thank you. has nudged me towards a purchase.
What about other embedded content other than videos? I use a music notation embed service that I would like to include in a Rise course. Would this be possible?
Hi Anthony - nearly any embeddable content that provides an iframe should
work.
Sounds good, Adam. Right now, Rise places a box where you can link to the content. The content that I want to embed is already responsive so it would work perfectly with Rise if the actual content could be embedded in the lesson.
Hello! Has this been fixed yet? I'm working on a course in Rise with Vimeo videos and am having the same problem. Although I'm setting Vimeo to not show titles, they show up directly below the video in Rise. Not the behavior I'd like!
Thanks.
I'm having the same issue.
