Enable Next button upon completion of Youtube video
As a follow-up to this, I have attached a sample .story file that demonstrates how to detect the YouTube video events, like reaching the end of a video. It uses some JavaScript to attach the YouTube api to the embedded YouTube video. The normal route of connecting the api to the existing video did not seem to work, so this removes the original video and reinserts it, with the api attached, which does work.

Thank you Nathan! This is a great resource to have on hand! I've done something similar, but I thought I had to create my own custom webobject html file, which is kind of a pain.
What you are doing is much simpler.
I'm going to write this out so I remember what do do and in case other people find it useful. All you have to do is go to the YouTube you want, and click Share > Embed. Then copy that code YouTube gives you into a text editor, e.g.:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DrpvkCRE2P4?si=4BBl-rHLLgE2D7us" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>Then all you have to do (to make it work with your example .story file) is add that id="myYTPlayer" parameter:
<iframe id="myYTPlayer" width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DrpvkCRE2P4?si=4BBl-rHLLgE2D7us" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>Then go to your example Storyline file (or one with the javascript trigger you included), choose Insert > Video > Video from Website, and paste in that modified embed code. Then the ytEnded variable within Storyline will change to True when the YouTube file ends.
How would you recommend doing this for multiple videos in the same Storyline project?
YouTube videos?
Multiple videos on one slide, or single videos on different slides?
One youtube video per slide. I am creating a Storyline part in a Rise course that needs to house 5 videos, disable the player controls until the video is done then allow the learner to go back and watch it with controls for the second go round, AND at the end of the video I need the Next button to be enabled so the learner can move to the next video.
