Adding a YouTube video to a Voki classroom presentation

montgomeryd fa 5 anys en Voki Presenter updated by Gil Sideman fa 5 anys 2

I have been attempting to add a YouTube video to a voki presentation. It seems easy enough, but nothing works. I add the link and click insert video, but after that nothing occurs. What do I need to do to get a youtube video in my presentation?

Answer

Hello!


The video does not play when you are editing the presentation - but when the presentation plays/runs.


Play the presentation to see the video play.


Hope this helps,

Unexpected Charge

Concerned user fa 6 anys en Voki FAQs updated by JASA JOKI fa 5 anys 2

I tried voki in May 2017. It was ok but not something I needed once my job changed. I canceled my account. Suddenly in May of 2018 I am getting charged again and have been for at least the last five month!!! I wasn’t even in school!! Why has my account suddenly become active again even though I have not used it in years?!?

Answer

Hello - 

You must set your account billing setting to "Automatic Billing" - and your annual account extended automatically when it was time for the license to renew.

We do send out automatic emails btw - you would have been informed, though sometimes emails end up in spam. 

Anyway - if you prefer we'll issue a refund and cancel your subscription.

Just send us a note at support@voki.com and we'll take care of that for you.

I do encourage you to take a close look at Voki - a lot has changed in the past year!  You may want to check it out.

Best,

Gil

HTML5 and Javascript

Jeff fa 6 anys en Voki FAQs updated by Gil Sideman fa 3 anys 3

Any news or plans to upgrade voki to use JavaScript or some other web technology? Flash is pretty much at end of life.

Answer
Gil Sideman fa 3 anys

I came across this old post - and for avoidance of doubt, I'd like to clarify that in keeping with technology updates, the last vestiges of Flash technology were removed from the product about 3 years ago.

Like many other rich media and animation products, Voki did have its technical origins using Flash technology, which was the leading solution at the time.  But as technology evolved. and other solutions became available, Flash was gradually deprecated from platforms and browsers. Consequently Voki was migrated to use HTML5 technology, which is universally supported, including on mobile devices.

I hope this helps.

Hello!

In our testing, it does save the recording, as well as the background, and all the attributes of the character. 

There seems to be a unique problem on your device - which we are unable to recreate.


Would love to get more information so that we can help.

Did you in fact re-enable permissions for the app to access the image gallery as I suggested?

Was this permission in fact disabled as we suspected?

Did you try saving / downloading new Vokis after making this change?

     (note that any previous save attempts will never "show up" - as access was previously disabled )

Please try again and let me know exactly what you see when you press the Gallery button.


It is also possible that you are running an older version of the app, or that your app installation is bad/corrupt (this is rare).

That's why, if you try again and it still does not work - I recommend clearing the voki app from your ipad and re-installing it from the app store. 

Let me know

Audio Loop

S G. fa 6 anys en Voki FAQs updated by Gil Sideman fa 6 anys 3

I'm using a free version of the creator for my classes. In the latest, my audio automatically loops, clipping off the last word in the speech-to-text feature. I've used Voki for a couple of years, but I've never had this problem.


Any ideas?



Answer
Gil Sideman fa 6 anys

Neither have I - and it is troubling.

For starters I'd like to ask that you clear your browser cache & try again - could be a problem with bad content stuck in your browser cache.

If that does not cure the problem - please contact support@voki.com - describe the problem and include a link to the page where this problem can be seen. We will investigate.

Thanx!

I guess I did not read the fine print

januarsam77 fa 6 anys updated by Johan fa 3 anys 2

I guess I did not read the fine print or perhaps bought the wrong plan, but why is the Voki Logo still appearing in my published work? I thought it was supposed to be "ad free".

Answer

Hello - 

We do not display ads to our paying subscribers and their students. 

We do display our Voki logo with pride, and we do not consider it to be an 'ad' - though I can see how one might disagree. Many paid products display the creator's logo, both online and offline. From vehicles to sneakers to software products - this is not unusual.

Voki Logo

support1 fa 6 anys updated by Gil Sideman fa 6 anys 3

I guess I did not read the fine print or perhaps bought the wrong plan, but why is the Voki Logo still appearing in my published work? I thought it was supposed to be "ad free". I do not believe displaying that big 'ole honking voki logo in my presentation is "a free". Please advise on how to remove it if it can be removed at all. If not, no problem... I'll just cancel and consider it a lesson learned..

Voki app - video is corrupt?

Jill Carpenter fa 6 anys updated by Gil Sideman fa 6 anys 2

When using the Voki app on my iPad pro , I periodically get messages that say either the video is corrupt or the user denied access to the media - so I can't download the videos.  It doesn't happen every time, but often enough that it is very frustrating.  Any suggestions? Help?

Answer
Gil Sideman fa 6 anys

Jill - 

Yes this problem affected some devices, and has now been fixed with a new release of the iOS Voki app. 

Please update your Voki app - and let us know if you encounter any further problems.

Best,
