Article summary

Overview

The Video Form Control is used to display a video on a Form, along with the following options at run-time if the Show Controls option is enabled: Play/Pause, playback seeking via the video played, Volume/Mute, Fullscreen, Download, Playback speed, Picture in picture. By default, the video will automatically play on mute; there is no setting available to control the initial volume of the video. Once the video is started at run-time, it will continue to loop unless manually paused.


Example

  1. Create a Form or edit an existing Form.
  2. In the Form Designer, navigate to the DATA > ADVANCED category in the Toolbox panel. Click and drag the Video control to the Form. Set the VideoSource to FileData and upload a video file under Video File. Click Save and close the Form Designer.
