I wanted to create a social network, which the user could upload a video via file uploader and the the same video would appear in the collection components inside of the items data section.

my initial plan was creating a new “video” data wenever a user uploads a video via file loader, and then collecting the data on the collection component. Then i realized that the collection component has only a Image field, and not accept a video file.

Is there a way that i can make a video to display on the collection component or another component that i can use and would be very simmilar to the collection component? \*i’m trying to make when the submmited video appears in the main page, you can scroll down to show more videos.

Use a custom collection.
