Video not showing in preview #123

Closed isatrio closed 3 years ago

isatrio commented 5 years ago

I'm trying to get video from the website. I saw it create a placeholder, but it does not show the video. so it just leaves a placeholder to show the place only not showing the real video content.

My question is, is that feature or bug? If the expected can show the video, then any suggestions on how to show that video?

Hi @isatrio - apologies for the delayed response. Yes, it is possible to show the video, but the way to do it depends on the player that you are using.

Would you mind sharing a sample URL? We may have a bug in the preview.

Here is an example: https://partner-eng-times.herokuapp.com/article/sample-article

I added the Embed element, which is used for external content (including Tweets, YouTube videos, Facebook posts, Instagram posts, etc.) It is important to mention that in most cases you'll want to use the Embed, since the Video element requires the source of the video asset.

and the preview looks like this:

I hope this helps. I am closing the issue but feel free to reopen if you need more help here.
