Embedding video from Youtube or Vimeo in CP9

[jamesc40803254]

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

Hi there

Perhaps consider using the Web Object?

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.

Hi Jim,

Can you please try with this URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHx6SBynMkw&feature=youtu.be

Thanks,

That worked!

Thanks,

It looks like what you added to the URL was "&feature=youtu.be"

Will that same approach work with every one of the URL's from YouTube?

That's correct. Try to use all Youtube URLs in a similar format and you can get it working!

Hope this helped

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.
