Video Overview
The Video component lets you play videos in your project that are stored in the cloud or in your project. Users can easily pause, rewind or fast-forward the video with this player.
Set Video
There are a few ways you can set a video source in your app:
Upload Video File to your app
You can upload a video file as an asset in your project. Be careful of the Thunkable 50 MB app size limit if you choose to upload a file to your project.
Enter URL to choose video to display
Enter the URL of the video you want to show in your project.
The link has to end in .mp4, .mov, …so videos uploaded to YouTube and other video sharing sites may not work.
