The Video Element allows you to add either a video file or a video stream from HLS, DASH, UDP or a Live TV Passthrough.
If adding a new video, remember there is a 5 Megabit per second bit rate max on video files
Note: If you wish to use a YouTube video, Twitch stream, or other publicly available video source, you would want to use the YouTube element or External URL element.
Adding a Video Element
When you add a Video Element it will open on a window that will let you select an item from your Media Manager, Pixabay, or Pexels. You can also upload a new image by dragging the file on your computer to the dialog box.
You can also select Cancel if this Video Element is going to be used to bring in Video Streams like HLS, DASH, UDP, or Live TV
If you select an video file, it will fill the space and begin playing. You can use the Gear Icon in the upper right to open the Edit options
