FEATURE LIMITATION: EMBEDING H.264 CODEC VIDEOS

The Embedded Browser does not support playing H.264 video codec media. This means objects embedded with URLs to popular websites may load web pages with videos that cannot be played.

If the embedded video link you wish to play in the built-in browser encounters an error message or does not play at all, it may be because the streaming service uses H.264 video codec to display videos.

  1. Select an object using the selection tool .
  2. Once the Adorning menu appears, press embed link  to open the hyperlink popup.
  3. Press unlink embed  to remove the link.
