Publishing Video Demo as HTML5 output in Captivate 9?

My company recently replaced the software we used to record, edit, and publish video demonstrations with Adobe Captivate 9. We don't want to host the videos on YouTube. I would like to publish the videos as HTML5 so we can host the videos ourselves, but it looks like you can only publish a Video Demo as a mp4.

These are quick, 2-minute videos that wouldn't require a software simulation. Is there any way I can publish the video demo as a HTML5 output instead of just an mp4?

Because a cptx project is meant in the first place to be interactive, you need to be able to publish to HTML (or SWF). That is not necessary for a pure video. You can also create a simple HTML page and embed the video in that page. I just offered a workaround.

Video is just video, MP4 is a widely ised video format. You can insert a

cpvc file as slide in a cptx project and publish it to HTML.

Thank you! Yes, I don't have a problem with the fact it's an mp4. It's more about publishing the video with a player that we can host and embed on our knowledge bases. We prefer to do that over publishing to YouTube and then embedding a YouTube player. I didn't understand why I could publish the cptx file to HTML5 but not cpvc. Thought I was missing something.

I will try inserting the cpvc file as a slide. It's too bad it adds another step to publishing, though. Thank you for your help
