Moodle: Blank Page Instead of a (YouTube) Video
Problem
When I click on a link to a page in Moodle, where there should be embedded video from YouTube but I get a blank page instead of a video.
Solution
Google Security Update: An additional security measure was added in 2017, so if you haven't taught your course in a while, this is an easy fix! Don't worry, you don't need to know HTML, even though it seems like it from the directions. Just follow the steps:
When an embedded video in Moodle doesn't display, check the URL in the HTML code to make sure it begins with https instead of just http.
- Click on the <> HTML tool
2. You don't have to know HTML code, this is easy, just look for the URL and add that S-problem solved.
3. Here is a video overview if you would prefer to watch:
Make Video Show by Adding the S to the URL
This is an old issue which probably won't occur since we mostly use Echo360, however, it is the solution if you have old videos.
