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.
