Video Player

A video player displays a video connected to a record.

Video players are useful for trailers, previews, recordings, interviews, training videos, and other playable media. They are media components for viewing a video file from the record.

When to Use It

Use a video player when users need to watch video content without leaving the record.

It is a good fit for review workflows, media archives, event documentation, or training material. If the record only needs a downloadable file, use File instead.

What Can Be Configured

Video Source

The player uses the video associated with the record. Project teams should decide where videos are stored and which record field represents the playable file.

Playback Context

The surrounding page should explain what the video represents, such as a trailer, interview, proof, or recording. Related metadata can be placed beside or below the player.

Layout

Video players usually need a wide area so playback is comfortable. They often fit best in a content block or a dedicated media section.
