Hi Guys,

I have a button which launched link, Which is basically supposed to open the link of my video file which I have stored in Glide table. It uses Glide storage to store content.

The video file is mov format. But when I click the content link it downloads the content rather than playing it. Can someone help me out here?

MP4 content plays in the browser.

Most of my videos are uploaded in .mov format, how do I ensure they play and not download

Thank you in advance

Regards,  
Dilip

For now I changed my approach of opening a link and opening link in browser

Changed it to play in Video view provided by glide.

Loading the Link in the video view.

Let me know if this works for all video formats.

I was wondering why didn’t you just use the video component for all things that should store a video link?
