Problems viewing YouTube video SCORM package

I have created several courses that I have published in SCORM for use in a Moodle platform. I have used videos that are on YouTube inserting the video inside a slide.

The problem comes when running the SCORM package, since the video loads it, but after two seconds it stops and you have to press play again to continue.

Is there any way to play it directly without making that stop?

Correct answer Lilybiri

That click is for moving from slide to slide manually by pressing the mouse click. That's the default.
I understand that it will have to be placed at the end of the video to stop and click to move to the next slide.

Is there any way to place it automatically at the end of the video, or do I have to move it manually?


If you have such a requirement on each slide, it would be better to use a shape button on the main master slides. Its advantage would be that it will pause each slide at its last frame. You cannot use a click box, but the smart shape can be made 'invisible' by setting Opacity and Stroke width to )<

If you insist on using that click box, move it to the end or extend its duration till the end of the slide by using CTRL-E. The pausing point of a click box is always at the end of its timeline.

Maybe you'd need to read this blog post, the most important I ever wrote (look at the number of views):

How did you insert the YT videos in the cptx-course, please? 

Can you also tell which exact Captivate version you are using? The full version number can be found under Help, About Captivate.

I have used the interactive video option, and I have added the url of the YouTube video.

The version is 2019 11.5.0.476

This problem also happens when I preview in SCORM cloud.

You are still on the first version of 11.5, which was pretty buggy. Why didn't you upgrade to 11.5.5.553. I understand you don't want to update to 11.8 probably because that is a subscription only version. If my memory is correct, there were some issues with YT videos used as slide video in Captivate.

Another question: did you insert bookmarks, overlay slides (content or knowledge check) in the video, since you mentioned 'Interactive video'? If yes, when is the first bookmark happening?
