# How do I add a Mindstamp video to Adobe Captivate?

Topic: [Training, LMS and certificates](https://mindstamp.com/help/training) · Updated: 2026-10-05

## Short answer

In Captivate 13.2, select **Add media blocks**, then **Web Object**, and paste the Mindstamp **Basic iframe** code under **Embed code**. In Captivate Classic, select **Objects**, then **Web**. The Captivate course does not receive the video score, so upload the Mindstamp SCORM package to your LMS as its own item when you need one.

## Steps

1. In Mindstamp, publish the video from its **Share** page if it is not published yet.
2. Under **Embed**, choose **Basic iframe** and select **Copy embed code**.
3. In Captivate, open the slide. Captivate 13.2 allows at most two web objects on one slide.
4. On the left toolbar, select **Add media blocks**, then **Web Object**.
5. Select the placeholder.
6. In the **Content** section, choose **Embed code** and paste the code. To use the address instead, choose **URL** and paste the address inside src.
7. In the code, set the iframe width and height to 100% so the player fills the block.
8. Preview the slide.
9. Play the published course in your LMS on a computer and a phone.

## Add the video in Captivate Classic

- On the toolbar, select **Objects**, then **Web**.
- In the **Property Inspector**, paste the address in **Address**, or choose the **Embed code** option and paste the Basic iframe code.
- Leave **Auto Load** on.
- Choose to show the object in the slide or in a new browser window.
- Classic web objects always sit on top of other objects, so keep captions and buttons clear of the player.

## If the web object is blank

- Use https. Adobe says an https LMS may not launch an http page in a web object.
- Captivate cannot show sites that block framing. Check that the address starts with https://embed.mindstamp.com, or with your custom domain.
- Adobe suggests testing with script blocking. If the object stays blank, turn script blocking off and test again.
- In Classic, Adobe suggests opening the address in a plain iframe page first, to rule out the site.

## If you do not see Web Object

Check your Captivate version. An Adobe community answer from December 2024 says the all-new Captivate 12.4 had no web object, only YouTube and Vimeo. Adobe’s current help documents the Web Object, and the current version is 13.2.

## Send the score with a separate SCORM item

- On the Mindstamp **Share** page, under **Export**, select **Download SCORM package**. This needs a Core plan or higher.
- Choose a version your LMS lists and a **Completion Checkpoint** of 10, 25, 50, 75, 90, 95 or 100 percent.
- Upload the ZIP file to your LMS as a separate course. Keep it out of the Captivate project.
- Enroll a test learner in both courses.
- Check that the LMS shows the video score after the test.

## If your account restricts embed domains

If you set **Allowed embed domains** in Mindstamp, add your LMS domain to the list. Otherwise learners see “Video not available: Code 617”. See [restrict embed domains](https://mindstamp.com/help/restrict-embed-domains).

## Know which learner watched

The embed does not receive the learner’s LMS account. To see names in Mindstamp reports, add lead capture to the video so learners enter their name and email. A SCORM package passes the name and ID from the LMS instead. See [viewer identity and anonymous viewers](https://mindstamp.com/help/viewer-identity-and-anonymous-viewers).
