Does the YouTube Widget Still Work?

[MichaelGibbons1]

Hi Everyone,

I have used the YouTube Widget many times in the past with no issues. Now all of a sudden it has stopped working in lessons where it had previously worked and in new test files I have created to troubleshoot the issue.  The slide launches but the video does not appear so it just looks like a blank slide.

I have tried publishing as a SWF and an HTML5 - both do not work. The links are good because they have been tested doing an F11 preview and using the test button. The widget just will not work when published (local machine, SCORMcloud, Cornerstone LMS). I am using both IE11 and Chrome for my testing. Anyone else experiencing this same issue or have a fix for it?

Thanks!

YouTube has changed something, reason why the widget no longer seems to work. As a workaround, use the web object.

Thanks Lieve! That worked like a charm.
