Video File Playback

It would be great if video attachments could playback like all other attachments do.

I agree on everything being said here about video. I just started using Airtable for my digital archiving project at work and so far everyone loves it and it’s proven to be really useful for what we need but video playback would be everryyythiiiiing. It’s proving to be really inconvenient that Airtable doesn’t yet support video playback and that would definitely improve our shared use.

Same. My entire business revolves around video, and this feature would be incredibly useful.

Is this something that is being worked on by Airtable - it would be a huge selling point for getting all of my team members onboard with this program.

Hi Airtable. Please tell me this is a feature you are prioritising?!!

We’ve built an extension that allows you to play video attachments in the browser.

miniExtensions

Video Player for Airtable Attachments - miniExtensions

Play video attachments directly in the browser without having to download them to your computer. This tool also generates unique links that can be shared.

The URL Preview App can help with this.
But unfortunately, couple issues:
1). For Vimeo, I don’t know what URL to allow Vimeo to embed on.

Have tried allowing airtable.com to no avail. Can someone @Airtable please advise?!

2). For YouTube field, our URL links are 301 redirecting short links, e.g. Cerulean | "island" [Music Video] - YouTube. The app doesn’t detect this as a YouTube app (understandably), but could be enhanced to consider 301 redirects.

Could it be a 3rd party service like Embed.ly (in which case I know you must approve cdn.embedly.com) ?
