I am developing an enhanced ebook for Google Play Books in fixed layout epub. I am using Adobe Indesign to develop this ebook. I am having great difficulty adding videos in my ebook. I have exhausted all possible options to embed the video. I have tried HTML5 video tag as suggested by the official Google support. I have tried to embed youtube video using an iframe but no luck.
When I upload my ebook to GPB it doesn't display any video in case of HTML5 and in case of iframes iframe takes some real estate but shows up blank. The iframe however does show on web version of the app and videos stream alright.
How can I embed videos successfully in my ebook? either HTML5 or iframe will do for me.

This is the Iframe code for the youtube live chat embed.
It works fine in desktop view but return a javascript error in mobile view and no content is shown
Official YouTube documentation
Embed Live chat
Note: embedding live chat isn't available on mobile
web.
During a live stream, you can embed live chat on your own site by
using an iframe.
Get the video ID for the live stream. You can get the video ID from
the watch page URL (youtube.com/watch?v=12345). In this case, the
video ID is ‘12345’. If you chose "Stream now," right-click on the
player and select Copy video URL to get the video URL.
Get the domain
URL for the site you want to embed chat on. If you're embedding chat
on www.example.com/youtube_chat, your embedding domain is
"www.example.com."
Combine the embedded URL in the following way:
https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?v=12345&embed_domain=www.example.com.
This is the URL for your iframe. Note the embed_domain must match the
the URL of the page you’re embedding the chat on. If they are
different, the embedded chat will not load.
We just wanted to embed the youtube chat and found this on Google Support.
Unfortunately, Youtube chat embed isn’t available on mobile web according to google: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2524549?hl=en
Take care,

I am trying to load my video into a webview.
When I use this link. It won't work.
http://www.youtube.com/v/066PWBKrh6k&autoplay=1
But when I try this link. It's the same video but the link is a little bit different. It won't work. Any idea what the problem can be?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=066PWBKrh6k&autoplay=1
Kind regards.
You are linking to a flash file. IOS wont play flash. the /v/id path links to a swf for clarification, while the watch link is something IOS might have a handler for to accept standard youtube links but play them in the youtube app. What you really want is a straight url to a mp4 file / h264 which ios will happily play in it's media controls. Youtube will not give you this because the video isn't branded, the branding is an overlay of their flash / html5 player. Your best bet is to use the actual youtube javascript api to embed a html5 player, or at least something compatible with IOS. Or just link to an address IOS has a registered handler for.
I have recently created an iPhone app where i recorded voice in .ima4 format. This application uploads these recordings to my web server, where user can play these recorded files.
But i don't know how to decode or play .ima4 files in a website.
Its better to use html5 for audio playing
Consider this link for workAround for ima4 format
Refer soundmanager link for playing audio in html
