Video Control

Prev Next

Overview

The Video Form Control is used to display a video on a Form, along with the following options at runtime if the Show Controls option is enabled: Play/Pause, playback seeking via the video being played, Volume/Mute, Fullscreen, Download, Playback speed, and 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.


Examples

File Data

  1. Create a Form or edit an existing Form.

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.

URL Configuration

  1. Create a Form or open an existing Form.
  2. Instead of selecting File Data from the Dropdown menu. Select URL.
    • Users should note that the Video Control only supports .MP4, .webm, and .ogg format.  
    • Users also can toggle the following features on or off:
