Is there any update on if or when it would be available?
Do you mean for Glide Apps or Glide Pages? I donât think we have seen any mentions about it.
No, I donât think I have seen an ETA on it being available for Apps.
You have that option for Pages, though.
I usually use a bit of CSS to modify the video component to make the component inline and 16:9.
I completely agree that the video component needs some love.

Completely agree the video component needs some âLoveâ. Video is an important item these days, especially in an app. The current component makes it very hard to have the app look clean on mobile devices.
Trimming the black borders would go a long way in allowing us more flexibility in layout and a more professional look and feel to the interface.
If you want to use some css, try this in a rich text component:
<pre><span><style>
[data-test="app-video-player"] {
margin-left: 15px !important;
width: 92%;
height: 200px;
}
[data-test="app-video-player"] :nth-child(1) {
border-radius: 15px !important;
}

Hi Robert, Thanks for the help. I am not using CSS, so maybe a silly questionâŚwhere do I include the actual video source? Thanks
Video URL in the data table. A Video Component that points to that column. A Rich Text component that includes the CSS code I pasted above.
Result:
@tristan â Would love an âInlineâ option for video component along with popular ratios selection (like image component). I typically add this CSS for every screen with a video component that isnât the first component on the screen.

I am trying to learn this partâŚdoes the code go in a Rich Text component above a video component and have âan effectâ on that video? I canât get videos that are in a Container on my screen to go full screen in my appâŚit will flash when you select full screen but goes back to the smaller version.
The code only works in Classic Apps. For the new Glide Apps, you would need access to use CSS on Business/Enterprise, and most certainly have to modify it a bit to work with the new Glide Appsâ video component.

thanks! Is there something I am missing that would cause this issue? Again, Container with 7 video components and they are set to 16:9 and when I click them and try to go âfull screenâ it will flash like it will be full and then goes back to regular size.
That seems like strange behavior for sure. Can you share a loom recording?

Is that an install on a desktop computer? Which browser are you using? Which OS? What happens if you have the window maximized to begin with? What happens if you just open the app in a normal browser window and try to do a full screen video? Something is causing the entire app to restart when you attempt to go full screen.
Yes sir it is an install in Chrome on Windows 10 Pro. Ok when I open in a regular Chrome browser window they work just fineâŚbut in the installed Chrome browser window it does that blink and back thingyâŚ(technical term)âŚ
Do you have a sharable link, or a demo app that we could try? Tried doing a Google search but didnât find much info. Iâm curious if it happens for others or just yourself. Seems to me that it would be a chrome bug, but Iâm not sure.
I had an App exhibiting somewhat similar behaviour as this last week. In my case the App would load (very slowly) and then once loaded, it would drop into a cycle where it would crash and restart every 60-70 seconds. The behaviour only manifested when the App was installed, and was only observed in Safari on IOS.
After much troubleshooting with Glide Support, the issue with my App was eventually resolved simply by re-installing it 
The suggestion from Glide Engineering was that the root cause of the issue may have been related to Screen Time/Web Content Restriction settings on my Phone. Although this was never confirmed.
I realise that the issue that @pipharvester is having is with Chrome/Windows and so is almost certainly unrelated. But the symptoms are similar, so perhaps there could be some similar Windows setting thatâs getting in the way?

I just made a âcopyâ of the app if that will workâŚit has real data but can send you a linkâŚ
and where do I get the sharable link?

@Darren_Murphy I think it all works fine in mobile and only the Chrome installed version is showing this behavior! Thank you for the insight for sureâŚmakes me know that the team can most assuredly find the issue. I LOVE GLIDE and this community!
