Yes but the video component does not seem to identify the column…which I have set to type “multiple files”

If users can upload multiple files then you probably need a helper table to transpose the multiple files one per row.

Then a collection sourced from the helper table to display all the available videos

If multiple file upload is not what you’re after use a different column type… text type should work

I did not want multiple files…so I tried text…but that didn’t work so I tried URL and that WORKED. I thought URL was for externally hosted videos., but I am happy Thanks for your input
