3rd Party Video link as Background

At a glance
Besides YT and Vimeo, will there be support to link other 3rd party linked videos?
(Gumlet, Cloudinary, and others provide a direct mp4 link which is very handy)

A lot of clients are getting conscious of avoiding YT / Vimeo uploads for different reasons (either they have a DAM with their videos or they have privacy concerns with YT) and in such cases we use other video hosting platforms. Would be nice to have a support of adding custom video link as background (similar to currently YT and Vimeo).
Other general observation I noticed Gumlet (or similar) hosted videos load WAY faster than Vimeo., without any additional scripts.

you can already do it via html embed
a generic video player component for other is also planed, but hasn't been worked on yet
Thankyou, yes the HTML embed worked as replacement of vimeo element, I just added some basics in code (to add autoplay, dimensions, overlay)
Thanks for the tip yesterday
