Video Issues (Online Courses)
YouTube Requires Sign-InWhen you try to watch a video in A-200, M-3, or A-218, YouTube prompts you to sign in.

Disconnect from the VPN and then revisit the video. You should be able to watch it without needing to sign in to YouTube.
Video Progress Problems
Many online courses in IAT are video type courses, these videos are stored in YouTube and your watch history is stored in the IAT system. If you are unable to access YouTube you will not be able to take these courses.
In order to complete a video course you are required to watch all the videos to completion before the exam button will appear.
- Video progress is tracked and permanently stored in the IAT system for all videos watched.
- You must watch all the videos in a course within 14 days or they will expire.
- You are required to watch each video to completion before the checkmark will appear.
- You will not receive any progress if you fast forward through a video.
The majority of students do not experience any problems with video progress while taking online courses. If you do, we suggest you clear your web browser's cache/history and make sure you are using a recommended browser. If you still have problems, contact the IAT Support Team for assistance.
YouTube Video Errors
Recently (Feb 2020) YouTube errors have began popping up while watching videos on the website. The specific error users are seeing is: "An error occurred, please try again later. (Playback ID:....)". If you receive this error here are some things to try to resolve it:
- If you have a VPN running, disconnect or suspend it. Then refresh the course video page to see if that corrected the issue.
- Clear your web browser's cache/history
- Make sure you are not "Logged In" to YouTube.
- If you have any type of Ad blocking addon installed you will need to disable it. (You might have an ad blocker running and not even know, instructions for Chrome)
- Refresh the page, hold the Ctrl Key + F5 to hard refresh the page.
- If you are still unable to get the videos to load you will want to try another PC (home PC is ok) or a mobile device. Or try a different browser such as Microsoft Edge.
