NOTE: there is also an issue with embedded videos when trying to play them off campus. While they work to solve this issue, we would suggest that you just link to videos and do not embed them. If you do have embedded videos in your Moodle shells to Films on Demand and would like assistance updating these to links please submit a help desk ticket to eLearning: General and we can assist you.
