Body: <p>I am developing an enhanced ebook for Google Play Books in fixed layout epub. I am using Adobe <strong>Indesign</strong> 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 <code>HTML5 video</code> tag as suggested by the <a href="https://support.google.com/books/partner/answer/3316879?hl=en-GB" rel="nofollow">official Google support</a>. I have tried to embed youtube video using an <code>iframe</code> but no luck.</p>
  
  <p>When I upload my ebook to <strong>GPB</strong> it doesn't display any video in case of HTML5 and in case of iframes <code>iframe</code> takes some real estate but shows up blank. The iframe however does show on web version of the app and videos stream alright.</p>
  
  <p>How can I embed videos successfully in my ebook? either <code>HTML5</code> or <code>iframe</code> will do for me.</p>

  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](https://support.google.com/books/partner/answer/3316879?hl=en-GB). 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.
