Embedded videos--page automatically scrolls to embedded edpuzzle videos

Hi Christian. Hm. From your gif (thank you for providing that!) it looks like you're seeing this behavior when you preview a lesson. Are you also seeing this behavior when you publish and upload your Rise course to your LMS? 

Hello! Thanks for taking a look.

I uploaded the Rise course to Canvas and the same issue is still occurring.

Any thoughts?

Sure thing, Christian! Thanks for giving us a little more information. I'll dig into this one a bit and circle back to you as soon as I can. In the meantime, I tried to reproduce this behavior on my end (just in Preview) with both embedded YouTube and Vimeo content and had no luck; everything works fine. Have you found this issue with embedded content from YouTube/Vimeo or just from this site? Thanks again!

Hmmm. A few of us are using Rise and we all see the behavior. Strange.

We are seeing it with all videos from YouTube/Vimeo if we use "iFrame"
commands. We don't see it when it's "linked" (since it doesn't actually
load the video).

Thanks!

Okay. Knowing that you're seeing it with embedded content across the board is a helpful tidbit! Thanks again for the additional info.

OOps! I lied! Embedded YouTube only works fine. It must be in the iFrame
command for EdPuzzle. I'll also check the code and see if something can be
done to fix it and let you know.

Thanks!

Okay. I just tried to modify the code by making it identical to the
embedded YouTube video. I removed the url from the EdPuzzle video and
placed in the same spot where the YouTube video is held. No luck. It has to
be something with EdPuzzle and the way they handle the "Guest" login.

Stephen...I don't think there is a workaround for this issue (automatically
scrolling to the bottom of the Rise page where the edpuzzle is located.
Most likely we just need to have links instead of embedding the videos.
(Share via link without the iFrame).

Thanks!

Hey Christian. Thanks for the updates! One of our dev team members took a closer look at this and you're right; there's something about the way the EdPuzzle page resizes and centers itself that seems to steal the focus of the page. It looks like EdPuzzle behaves this way embedded into any web page, not just a Rise course. I see many EdPuzzle videos are available on YouTube, so maybe you can embed them directly from there? We tried this on our end and that odd behavior didn't happen for us. I hope this is helpful!

Will do!

Thank you!

Hi Trina, I tried to replace a direct video upload with a YouTube video of mine. The problem is still there. Like Christian said : 'the page automatically scrolls to the embedded video'. I noticed the same behavior when adding an H5P exercise into Rise. Any hopes the development team could look at this issue, since embedding 3rd party solutions becomes more and more usual?

Hi André,

It sounds like the issue is not coming from Rise, but from EdPuzzle itself, so there's not much we can do on our end. Have you tried embedded an H5P exercise into any other webpage to see if you see the same behavior? That would help us identify whether it's a H5P issue or a Rise issue.

If embedding a YouTube video instead isn't fixing the issue for you, the best thing to do would be to have our Support Team take a look. You can submit a case here.

In the meantime, if there's anything else I can do to help, please let me know!

Hi Allison.

Note : You can create an edpuzzle by either uploading your video to their server or by linking to a YouTube URL. I encountered the issue with both procedures.

After passing by this post, I also sent a copy of my work including the edpuzzle embed with an H5P one on different pages to the support team. 

I'm still awaiting their prognosis.

Thanks and take care ;)

Perfect! :) Hopefully they'll be able to help you get to the bottom of this.

Hi Allison, the proposed solution for the moment is to use a continue button. It works since the edpuzzle only loads after the button is pressed and avoids the skip. Also, it seems to be an onfocus JS event from the edpuzzle source code that explains the behavior. Cheers!

Perfect! Thanks for sharing the solution with the community :)
