See [What would it take to get videos to work in Glide?](https://community.glideapps.com/t/what-would-it-take-to-get-videos-working-in-glideapps/80805/13) for a related discussion.

I’d let YouTube host the video.

File picker column → Pick a video file → Upload it → Go to the items list → Click on it → Details → Watch the video

Is THIS it? Lmk
