1 This would help me convince my clients to use Airtable. It would be great if we could playback from an embedded Vimeo file, if uploading directly to Airtable is too unwieldy.
The web-based project manager we just moved from (which shall remain nameless) allowed .mp4 files to play and provided a thumbnail preview. This was really helpful in being able to recall video associated with certain projects, when assigning them to freelancers.
We use Airtable for UX research purposes. It involves lots of screenshots and screen recordings. Not being able to play a recording directly from Airtable is really painful because it significantly slows down presentation and discussion on UX research findings listed in Airtable.
Using airtable for digital asset management for our paid marketing marketing programs. Love being able to preview all the static assets but we’re increasingly using video more than anything else. This is a real pain point.
We use Airtable for software bug tracking and most of our bugs have videos. It’s a pain to have download video attachments each time we want to play them. It slows the whole bug triage process down by a significant amount compared to if we could play video attachments in the browser. We nearly left Airtable when we figured out we’d have to download our video attachments. The new “embed” block does not solve this. We otherwise LOVE Airtable. Please prioritize this feature!
My Social media calendars in the gallery view and being able to watch video attachments where an image would normally be - that would be better than sex.
