Why Do YouTube Website Videos Behave Differently in Studio 360?
In Studio '13, we used Google’s API to embed YouTube videos. However, Google made a change to the API in May 2015 that prevented new videos from being embedded as website videos. (If you added YouTube videos to your Studio '13 courses prior to May 2015, they’ll continue to work properly. Google’s API change only prevented new videos from being added.)
In Studio 360, we no longer use Google’s API to embed YouTube videos. As a result, when you upgrade Studio '13 courses to Studio 360, there will be some changes to the way YouTube website videos work (details below).
