Inserting a vimeo video as an embedded web object

It depends how you want to access the html5-based project. It seems Vimeo videos behave slightly differently in the Mobile Player App vs. in a HTML5-browser, e.g. Safari on iPad. I did a quick test (see here) that show three options:

1. Using the URL of the webpage containing a video in a web object, e.g. http://vimeo.com/user18747741/heartslikeours

2. Using the video's embed code in a video object, e.g. "

HEARTS LIKE OURS | The Naked & Famous from Campbell Hooper on Vimeo.

3. Using the video's URL from the embed code in a web object, e.g. http://player.vimeo.com/video/71374620?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&badge=0&color=e6ae9e

I suggest you experiment with these options and see which one work best for your project.

Hi Ann and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! Just let us know how Michael's solution works for you.  Thanks Michael!

Thanks! The third option is just what I wanted.  Ann

Hi!

As web object, the video works but when i insert the video as embed, always have in the editor "browser navigation was cancelled" and when i test the slide, in the browser the video dos not load, page not found

I use the option "insert video from website"

Now I have a Youtube video as embed but in the ipad a "forbidden play" icon appears... :(

In flash works fine and in the html5 in browser just hangs the course

Here you can see working

Hi Juanjo,

If you're using YouTube videos you'll need to use the option to insert as a web object described here. If you use the insert from website, it will not work within the Articulate Mobile player or HTML5 as indicated in the note here: 

Note: If you'll be delivering your Storyline courses via HTML5 or the Articulate Mobile Player app for iPad, be aware that YouTube videos embedded in this manner ( Insert from website) won't work in these environments. Use the following method for embedding YouTube videos instead (Insert as web object). 

Hello,

I am trying to embed a video that is hosted on Vimeo rather than Youtube. Unfortunately the preview always says that the "navigation to the website was cancelled" (published project doesn't play either). Are there any issues in terms of compatibility between Storyline and Vimeo?

Ah, please ignore the above. It's only the preview and web publishing that doesn't work. SCORM loaded to Scorm Cloud is fine!

Thanks for the update Adrian!
