how to embed a video in a report

DQM

<p>Hi, embedding a video in a dashboard is easy using the provided video gadget, but we would like to embed a video in a report.</p>
<p>Our reports are served from a secure site and accessed through a dashboard.</p>
<p>Vimeo provides users with embed codes (using iframes), but these do not seem to work in the structure we use.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is there a solution for this problem?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Help is appreciated,</p>

<p>HTML Tidy removes iframes, however you can get around this by creating a text element and placing your code inside <script> tags to prevent HTML Tidy from removing them.</p>
<p>See attached example to demonstrate an embedded youtube video into a BIRT report.</p>
<pre class="_prettyXprint _lang-js">
<!-- Using a div tag and scripting to place your iframe will prevent HTML Tidy from removing the iframe in your code -->
<div id="BIRT_developer_vs_Java_coder"></div> <!--Reference div for output display -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var div = document.getElementById("BIRT_developer_vs_Java_coder"); //Get reference div tag
div.innerHTML = '<iframe width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/84RAEuPICEY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>'; //Set embedded link
</script>
</pre>

Hi,

I am trying to embed video in the word document using Story Teller. I placed video in the HTML place holder and called HTML file using external substitution but getting below error in control centre. Any idea how to resolve it.
