Video Playback on Attachment

[Zeinfier]

My primary key differentiator of Airtable versus Google Sheet is the ability to upload attachments on the row.

While images work well. Video attachment doesn’t play and requires downloading.

It would be great to have this feature to at least have everything in Airtable available in term media viewing.

Fourth-ed! It would be so helpful!

[Chrystel_Olouko]

Would love that feature as well, it is sorely missed!

This feature is needed so badly. I’ve seen request going back to 2016 for this! When will become available?

With videos becoming the norm of communication, the inability of video playback is a showstopper. Any timeline on when can this be expected?

Welcome to the community, @Mohmedabbas_burmawal! :grinning_face_with_big_eyes: The Airtable devs have historically been very tight-lipped about their release timeline for new features, and that’s not likely to change any time soon I’m afraid. You can pretty much guarantee that this is on their list for discussion, but there’s no telling when/if it will be addressed.

Thanks @Justin_Barrett

We’ve just updated the attachment field to support video playback:

New: video playback support Announcements

Quick announcement: we’ve just updated attachment fields to support playback of video files. So now, in addition to organizing your videos in your Airtable bases, you can also watch them inside your Airtable bases. [waveform-video-preview-3-10fps]
