Inserting a vimeo video as an embedded web object

Hi... We have find a way to insert the videos, is using a webobject that calls our own html who loads the video... we calculate the diomensions of the video and webobject and works fine. With this method, you can launch videos that is not necessary to control for SCORM purposes.

Hi Ashley

I am trying to embed a youtube and a vimeo file in my articulate project, When i use the Web Object to insert the video nothing gets displayed.

I know it wont be displayed on Preview, but when i publish to Web and LMS it still doesnt work and nothing seems to appear on the screen.

I have even tried uploading it to SCORM Cloud and nothing there as well, not sure why it isnt working, i have followed the exact instructions from the following link:

http://en-au.articulate.com/support/storyline/how-to-add-a-youtube-video-to-storyline

still nothing, help needed

thanks

Hi Shahid,

Could you share the embed code or link to the video you're working with from YouTube? If you've tested by publishing to a site such as SCORM Cloud (after using the publish to LMS method) that should have worked as expected.

It's also worth noting that if you add a restricted YouTube video to your Articulate content, you'll find that it doesn't play in your published output.

I know this thread has not been visited for a few months but for future troubleshooters. To post Vimeo to a web object copy the embed code that Vimeo gives you and simply delete everything but the actual player link (in bold).

<iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/110791926" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>

Then add a https:// in front of it and you have the proper link. Take note that Articulate does not automatically add the 's' in 'https' so you will have to add it yourself.

Thanks for sharing Matt!

Hi! Tried Matts link

I am using https://player.vimeo.com/video/123XXXXXX for my project but this does not work in Chrome but it works however in IE, this is the fault code in Chrome:

the web object feature on this slide has been disabled while viewing locally because your browser does not support it.

If i paste the link in chrome it works but not inside Storyline

What settings are needed in Chrome for this to work?

Hi Robert,

You're unable to view web objects as a part of the preview or if you're viewing the published content locally. You'll want to upload to the intended environment as described here to properly test your output. 

Great now it works! I should have tested on the server right away :)

Hi there everyone,

Would you know if there is a code or something I can use to embed my Vimeo videos that are password protected.

Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,

I haven't seen any code that you can add to a particular video when inserting it into Storyline as a web object. Perhaps instead you may want to look at downloading the video and inserting that or providing users with information on where/how to enter the password to view the video.
