Updated - How to embed a video on my homepage

Anvil Q&A
1

All I see are references to YouTubeVideo component, is this simply a custom html issue? I just want a portion of my homepage to loop a video.

So here’s what I DON’T want to do: I don’t want to embed a YouTube video (which is what most content is about). I want to have a video play on my homepage.

hi @dconnell this seems like it will be a custom html form

you can put the video in your assets - or point to the url if it lives somewhere else
use video tags

set the video to loop

While you’re at it you could create a custom video component for all of us anvil users… :wink:

If you need more help reach out and I/someone else can send you a clone…

I actually tried that, putting the vid in assets. I got an error message indicating the save failed and that the app might have been lost!

so… I guess it might be too big… but that gave me pause

could you use the link from loading it into a datatable row?

Precisely what I moved to
