Embedding videos in mindLAMP

[kijote0]

We would like to be able to play videos directly from within the mindLAMP app, rather than using hyperlinks. We will add more details on this soon.

@kijote0 Just to confirm, are you asking if the video from the tip activity should be played directly when provided as a URL, rather than displaying it as a hyperlink in the tip activity, or if it should be embedded as part of the tip content, similar to how videos are embedded in this comment section?

@sarithapillai8 The videos should be embedded as part of the tip content: similar to how videos are embedded in GitHub comments, users should be able to open the video in full screen mode, for instance.

Ok Got it @kijote0

Hi @evinkalengaden, just wanted to confirm: to test the video embedding, should I just create a Tip and format a hyperlink in Markdown like normal? I tried do that, and the video did not seem to load properly:

Hi @kijote0

Thankyou for the feedback.
You can give the video link in the Tip description box as I specified the sample format in the attached image, to access in the Tip video. Let me know your comments.

Thanks,

@evinkalengaden I tried that, and it did not seem to work. This is how I configured the tip:

However, I tried using iframe instead, and that seems to work:

To embed videos, should we just write an html block with iframe instead? Probably it would be convenient to have the format you provided also work since it would be simpler.

I tried writing an html block with iframe on the production dashboard, but it does not render properly:

Would it be possible for this to be fixed?

Hi @kijote0

While we were analyzing the link you mentioned, found it was wrong, As you have updated the video link from the Share link. The video link specified from the Share link will not work.
We have to specify the link displayed on the browsers URL's which I have given a note (Screenshot 1) and marked using the red arrow in the attached screenshot. Try this way and let me know your comments.

I have mentioned the sample video link using the same video URL (Screen shot 2)

Thanks,
