I have embedded a couple of YouTube videos into a captivate 9 file using the Learning Interactions. When I test the project out (F11) the videos play correctly. When I published (zip file) the project and uploaded to our LMS, the videos do not play. The screen is black.

The reason why we are using YouTube videos is because our LMS will only allow for a project to be uploaded with 100mb or less. To work around this I figured that using short embedded videos will solve our issue.

Any ideas?

The risk you run when using the YouTube widget is that each time Google decides to change their API it breaks the functionality of any projects published in prior versions. Here is a video tutorial on embedding a Vimeo video into your project but YouTube works the same if you use this method.

Thanks everyone for all the assistance. I tested and can see the video but it only plays for a couple of seconds and goes to the next slide. Do I have to extend the video on timeline to exact time of the video?
