Embedding video from Youtube or Vimeo in CP9

The video embed feature in CP9 seems to want flash video servers only.  Is there a way to embed from Youtube or Vimeo?

    I use the YouTube iFrame API in a web page. Zip an load into Captivate as an HTML5 Animation.

    It is the only API that is NOT deprecatated.

    The JavaScript and AS3 APIs have been deprecated by YouTube. There is also an Android and iOS helper API.

    You can also look at this GitHub for embedding Vimeo with JS.

    Hi,

    You would try using a Web object. For Youtube videos, you could directly use the Youtube Learning interaction

    Thanks,

    Thank you, Mohandas.

    The web object does work.

    I attempted to use the YouTube interaction and it did not work.

    I tested with URL https://youtu.be/vHx6SBynMkw

    When I passed the URL into the YouTube interaction menu, it went in twice

    I corrected the URL to eliminate the duplication and then set the options

    After hitting OK, I got this screen.

    When I published the project, the video did not play in the window.

    I would prefer to design it into the project as an interaction, and this capability does not seem to be working.

    Please advise.

    Jim

    Hi there

    Perhaps consider using the Web Object?

    Cheers... Rick
