Internet browsers such as Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox will display an “insecure content” or “mixed content” security notification if you try to load non-secure (http URL) external content within Blackboard (e.g., embedded Youtube videos, web links, Screencast videos, etc.).
If you trust the content you are trying to display, you would need to allow the content to load, otherwise you would get a blank area where you expect content to appear. Please see the information below for more information using Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox.
