How to add embedded videos in Adobe Captivate 12.5—wow, it made a big difference in how I deliver content.

At first, I was overthinking it. But it’s actually pretty simple. You just use the Web Object feature, paste in the embed code (like from YouTube or Vimeo), and it fits right into your slide.

No downloads, no heavy files. Just smooth, clean playback.

I used this in a course on workplace communication. Instead of just showing a slide with bullet points, I embedded a short real-life interview clip. Learners stayed more engaged, and the feedback was great.

This works especially well in onboarding modules, product demos, or any lesson where seeing real people talk adds value.

If you’re building eLearning content, try new tools. Adobe Captivate 12.5 has more potential than it looks at first glance. You don’t need to be a tech expert—just be curious.
