  • 1.  Problems embedding video on rich text page for use as custom Help page

    Posted 05-10-2019 21:00
    I've created a rich text page for use a custom Help page in our application. I'm trying to embed an mp4 video, but it's only showing up as a static image. My code:

    <p style="text-align: center;"> <video width="640" height="480"> <source src="url of the video here"; type="video/mp4"></video>
    </p>

    Any thoughts?

    Where is the video coming from? If you are going to host it somewhere like Youtube for free then just right click the video and select "copy embed code" and paste that into a code page, it will work right away. You will have to do some more work to get it to fit where you want but that gets you a working video and the hosting is even taken care of. Change the frame size or whatever you want.

    Sample of their embed code:

    <iframe width="1280" height="720" src="video URL"; frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Hello,

    I too am having trouble embedding the video. I followed the instructions per https://university.quickbase.com/empower2019-course/346798 but I only see the link and not the embedded video. QB support says this is not native to QB and so cannot help. :-(

    Here is an app in the Exchange called Magic Button by the self proclaimed Quick base Evangelist, Kirk Trachy, who is a Quick Base Staffer.  He has it working there and as I recall there is a tip there about how to get the correct URL
