Hi all 🙂

I often record and share short instructional videos for my team.  When I post a video file, team members must download the file first before viewing.  This creates a no-so-efficient experience.  ☹️

 

Is there a way to share a video within a chat/channel so that it can be view directly without the need for download?  Perhaps this is already an option but a particular format is required for embedding?

 

Thanks in advance!  💯

From a quick test here, I've found if you use .mp4 and do not include the video with any text message, you can get it to be clickable directly in the chat channel.

 

My steps;

  • Make sure it's in mp4 format.
  • Write my message in Zoom Chat (if applicable).
  • Add a reply to the message and drop in just the video, nothing else!

This is not fully tested or other variables explored as yet, but did work after initially trying to send both message and video in the same post.
