Playing ok on my system. Give it time to load

When I right click it says Movie not loaded. Is it possible to download the video and store it on my PC

 

[bobhc]

Does this part of Chandoos lesson help?

Do not save in compatibility mode. While saving the workbook, select XLSX format if you are running Excel 2007 or above. If you save the workbook in compatible mode, you may not see the videos working when you re-open it.

Hi Bobhc

I even downloaded the chandoo's sample file on this topic, but still not able to view the you-tube video. I am still unclear with the compatibility mode. Please shed some light, I am really looking forward to learn this concept to see what I am doing wrong here.

Hi JD,

It's working on my Excel 2010. What version you are using?

Even after waiting for some time, it is not appearing?

When you open the file does it shows any error?

As I have said both downloads work on my system, have you both checked your Flasher player is loading?

 

[Jagdev Singh]

Oops that could be the only reason I would think now. I don't have the Flasher player installed niether at work nor at home. My bad
