I see this has been up once before but the person did not got any answer so I try again.
The problem is that after a while the youtube links (They open external on youtube) gets broken.
When I run the course using F11 on my desktop it works so the links have not changed.
I the need to cut and paste the exact same link in Captivate from property window to get it to work. Thios make no sense.

Is this a captivate bug or a LMS bug?

    Are these your own YouTube videos or simply some third-party YouTube videos that you have found? As a YouTube creator myself, I can tell you that when I discover someone is using my content without my permission, I will restrict the embedding of my videos into those sites. This could be the case. The URL of your LMS would should up in their analytics.

    its all produced by us. Published on our channel. 
    The problem seem to be related to the solution within Edge on our workplace. They open youtube in IE modus inside Edge. 

    When running directly in IE it works.

    So its a bug in our system.
