Still hoping to use videolinks from other storage than youtube or vimeo.
I like that when you post a link to a video, the video is shown in the post. When I want to link to a video on my S3 or dropbox or Google drive, it shows only the link, not the video 😪
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="https://pathToYourVideoAndFileName.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video><video src="https://htmlreference.io/assets/HTML%205%20Video.mp4" controls>
</video>Natascha Vantuykom Can you check it the above html code works? Just change the source url for .mp4 file - click the Embed button once html code is added and Save. For custom embeds we need to use all the html tags: <VIDEO+</VIDEO so we cannot enter just the links for custom embed (it is a bit different than for oembed feature - for youtube and vimeo).
Not Important, where do you see an embed option in community?
Natascha Vantuykom, when you edit a lesson there is a tiny link 😁: Custom HTML Code - next to the Oembed button
Not Important, I don't want to do this in a lesson, just in the community feed
Natascha Vantuykom, ah... my bed.. let me try if I can embed video here or only pic which is I think a trick now, not a feature yet 😎 just copy the below code (change source url - but keep the slashes at the end if needed)

Natascha Vantuykom, it looks like you just invented a new Feature - embed (including custom embed) pictures and videos by Admin/Manager in a post/comment. For a regular user (Subscriber) it is not a good idea give them the power of including pics or videos but still awesome.
ups I can embed something even here with the code 😎 I think its a bug to be fixed
We will add video options on the feed and comment editor as well :)
Shahjahan Jewel, thank you 🙏
Shahjahan Jewel allowing native S3 video support for embedding woudl be awesome (using he video tag approach mentioned above works for now of course).
Even more awesome would be allowing the automatic creation of resigned expiring links (you know, the sort that only works for a defined period of time) as supported by S3.
this makes it easier to protect our content and stop people sharing video links outside of the site.
I totally appreciate this is a bunch of extra work for you guys, not expecting something like this as a quick implementation, but a request for future consideration?
