Hi @Kenny Hunter,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A forum.
The issue that ClickView videos no longer embed in OneNote across the web, Windows desktop, and iPad clients has been noted. Thank you for sharing the details. I recognize this impacts your workflow and I want to help you get back to a smooth experience.
OneNote creates an inline player when it can generate a secure preview from a video provider’s sharing link. If the provider changes the link format, preview capability, or security headers, or if the link requires a type of authentication OneNote cannot preview, OneNote will show a regular hyperlink instead of an embedded player. Tenant security tools or network controls can also block preview generation for certain domains.
To assist you effectively, could you please confirm:
- Which version of OneNote you are currently using on each device?
- Are you receiving any error messages when attempting to embed the videos?
- Does the issue occur with all ClickView videos or specific ones?
While we wait for your response, here are some steps you can try for your situation:
1/ Begin by enabling online content in OneNote to ensure full access to connected features.
- Open OneNote (Windows app).
- Go to File > Account > Account Privacy > Manage Settings.
- Ensure “Turn on optional connected experiences” is checked. This allows OneNote to use online services for embedding videos.

2/ Proceed by upgrading OneNote to the current version to maintain full functionality.
- Check for updates in Microsoft Store or Office Updates.
- Install the latest version for Windows, iPad, and confirm OneNote Online works as expected.
3/ Next, insert the ClickView video again to ensure the link is refreshed and functional.
- Copy the video link from ClickView.
- In OneNote, select Insert > Online Video, then paste the link.
- If embedding still fails, paste the link as a clickable URL so viewers can open it in a browser.
4/ After that, use OneNote Online as a temporary workaround to maintain access while troubleshooting.
- Open your notebook in OneNote Online at onenote.com.
- Embedded videos typically play correctly in the web version.
5/ Complete the process by checking your sign-in status and ensuring proper authentication.
- Ensure you are signed in to both ClickView and OneNote with the same account if your organization uses Single Sign-On (SSO).
6/ Since your account does not have these permissions, the best way to proceed is to contact your school’s IT department. They have the necessary rights to assist you and complete any required actions. For further assistance, kindly ask them to create a support ticket with Microsoft. This will connect you with a live support agent who can assist you in real time and guide you through troubleshooting steps for the best possible outcome.
