Caraway Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) We are using the old Georgia Public Broadcasting Chemistry videos. Today we discovered that the video access had changed and the videos are now embedded in the webpage. As a result the viewer cannot see the full image, cannot see how much time is left in the video, and cannot move forward or back within the video. It really renders the videos unusable because if there is an equation you can only see half of the written work. Do these videos exist anywhere else like YouTube? I've tried searching and googling, but cannot find anything. Help! Edited July 16, 2020 by Caraway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klmama Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 We're having that problem, too. I just sent an email to education@gpb.org to ask them to fix the problem. Maybe you should, too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSprout Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Okay, weird. When I sent the link on my home computer using Firefox at lunch, I had the regular controls at the bottom of the videos, but now I don't on my work computer. ETA- I see them briefly, then they disappear. Edited July 16, 2020 by MamaSprout 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, this must be browser-related. Good to know! Edited July 16, 2020 by klmama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caraway Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 The videos seem to play with controls if I use Safari. So we are going to do that for an immediate fix. GPB did email me back to say that they are working to fix the things that broke during the transition to the new website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
