Why am I not getting any tracking information on an embedded Vidyard video?

Overview

When testing and embedding a Vidyard player onto a page, the use of the vyemail query string to identify the viewer to test analytics may be used. However, all the views being shown are coming through as unknown views even though the identifying query string was used. 

Solution

Vidyard players embedded on any page will automatically use javascript to check the URL that the page was reached at, for query tags such as the vyemail tag. This javascript can be blocked off if the player has been embedded using the iframe code. Players embedded within an iframe will not be able to utilize javascript and thus will not be able to connect cookies to the map or identify a viewer via the vyemail tag. The recommended solution would be to either change the method of embed or to include an email gate to identify the viewer.
