Components | Video

"Video" component allows us to add a local video (which is added to the content and can be played off-line) or an online video (which requires Internet connection to be played, as it is hosted in YouTube, Vimeo or other streaming platforms).

You will find this component in the group of components called "Multimedia".

Setup process

1. Access to the "Properties" tab. In the "View" property, choose if you want to add a local video (saved in Resources folder in the unit) or an online video.
