Captivate 9 - You Tube Video URL Truncated

Hi!  Is there a fix for Captivate 9  regarding You Tube URLs being truncated?  I saw one for 2017. 

I copied and pasted a URL in my file using the You Tube Widget and it got truncated.  Then I typed in the URL and tested it and the URL does not work.

Thanks,

Norma

Hi Norma,

I don't use the YouTube widget (learning interaction). Instead what I do is use the embed code from the YouTube video with a web object. This way there's no risk of the YouTube API not working and you maintain control. Here is a video tutorial I did on this.

I finally had a chance to look at your YouTube video.  This was great!
