Please note that video files can be quite large and might exceed the 50 MB size limit for your project.
The Video component lets you play videos in your app that are stored in the cloud or in your app. App users can easily pause, rewind or fast-forward the video with the built in player.
There are a few ways you can set a video source in your app:
Upload a video to your app. Be careful of the Thunkable 50 MB app size limit
Provide a link to the video. The link has to end in .mp4, .mov, …so videos uploaded to YouTube and other video sharing sites may not work.
Please note that the Video component is not recommended for streaming live video content.
You can set how tall the Video is using the height property and set how wide it is using the width property.

Width
