I have a project where I'm inserting a Youtube video(interactive video option). Unfortunately, during the inserting process, it stops at 50% and doesn't finish(I've waited for at least 10 minutes). Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    I'd test this out for you but I'm on a beach in Mexico with just an iPad. Try inserting a different video. It's possible that the owner of the YouTube video has prevented their video from being embedded. You can test it with any of my videos. None of them have this restriction.

      Thanks, Paul. I was able to insert one of your videos so there must be some embedding restrictions on the Youtube videos I attempted to insert. Now that I know that, how does one discover if an Youtube video is restricted.

      Doing some research on Google, I discovered how to determine if an Youtube video is embed restricted, although some of you already knew this :-). The desired video has an share option. Select that give options which one of them is 'embed'. That reveals the URL and the code. I use that URL in the interactive video in Captivate's Youtube URL. At least it works for me.
