Working with videos on Webstudio

At a glance

The community members discuss the experience of integrating videos on Webstudio sites. They note that it is not possible to directly upload videos to Webstudio, and recommend using platforms like Vimeo or YouTube to host the videos. Some community members suggest using HTML embeds or dynamically manipulating the DOM to include videos on Webstudio sites. However, there is no explicitly marked answer in the comments.

Hey @paso_sb ! It's not possible to upload videos on Webstudio. you should have a platform like Vimeo or YouTube for store your video.

Thats what i thought πŸ˜„ do you recommend sth. for this?
I didn't play a lot with videos so I don't have recommendations. For what I know Vimeo or YouTube are ok for most use cases!
Why isnΒ΄t it possible though?
WhatΒ΄s the benefit?
It's not possible because Webstudio is not a builder who store videos. It's just a "frontend builder" and don't handle the storing. Maybe one day but not yet! πŸ™‚
Understand but can you use videos which are stored on baserow via api?
It's not natively possible, but I think it's possible if you use an HTML Embed
You can dynamically manipulate the DOM to create video element and append this to its parent element.
