Media Gallery: Include Linked Videos
A WORD TO THE WISE
Media only displays uploaded video files. It should also include videos that have been shared via links (e.g. YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, etc.), so all video content appears in one place regardless of whether it was uploaded or linked.
Creating high-quality videos is time-consuming and expensive, so many communities and businesses rely on externally hosted videos rather than uploading files directly to WordPress. When the Media library only shows uploaded videos, it often appears empty or incomplete, giving the impression that there is little or no video content available.
Manoj Sharma Thanks for sharing your idea!
In the Media Gallery section, it may be possible to display a list of video URLs added to the post.
This has already been logged as a feature request. Our team will review it and take the necessary action based on their evaluation.
I agree - I would imagine that most users running communities where video is an integral part, would not be uploading to their own servers. Instead, they'd be using platforms like Bunny, Vimeo, YouTube, etc.
I'd say that if this isn't possible, to have the videos tab only show up if their are local videos for a given space. Otherwise, it's an empty tab that adds no real value to the user.
