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.

I attach the screenshot, but I think I have already seen the problem, and it is the pause seen in the Click_box_746 element.

Is this correct?

Where I have to place that pause? at the end? or remove it?

Thank you very much for your help


Indeed that was what I suspected from my first answer on. Why did the Captivate team hide the Timeline panel some versions ago, it has caused so many problems as I experience daily here.

What is the goal of that click box, please? Why did you time it at that particular frame?
