I was hoping to put a youtube video in attachment but the URL says it can not be found. Tried a few different videos with different style URLs with the same not found error.
Is there a easy way to add video or will I just have to add URL to the video?
Which is fine, I just wanted to know if I could embed it without link or downloading, so I thought I would ask.
Attachment fields only work with actual files, but YouTube URLs don’t point to a literal video file. As @ScottWorld says, you could use the Embed app to embed a single video into the right sidebar, but that will just house that single video and won’t dynamically update. However, you could put the video URL into a URL field, then add the URL Preview app, which works with YouTube videos. Select a field with a YouTube URL, and the app will instantly open that video for you to play.
Thanks guys, this is a great option while building and working with my base in grid view. Works very smoothly.
But …
Future database plans are to be shown in gallery view. Any suggestions?
Oh wow, that’s a bummer!! I didn’t realize that the URL Preview app only works in grid view! That seems like a real missing feature there. I would definitely add this as a feature request in the #show-and-tell:product-suggestions category, and you might even want to email support@airtable.com about this as well, just so they know about your particular need for this.
