Hi ! Im using Glide for some time now, and i recently went Pro. New features are simply excellent,and we can do really great apps ! I try to include some videos in my app, and i wanna avoid to put them on youtube, as i can host them on my personnal server. I read in the doc that .MP4 videos only are supported, but i havent succeeded to encode a video to be replayed properly by the video option. Are there specific supported codecs ? I only get the player options, and nothing appears, neither on my phone or on the Glide editor. PS : using video with a youtube link works fine. Thanks for any tips 🙂 Nicolas ---

I assume the link works if you open in it an incognito browser window? ---

Hmm, not sure then. I don’t know much about codecs, but H.264 would be my best guess for most reliable support. Do you have a link you can share? ---

It’s playing for me in the forum. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/3/31d662b2259add33093ddefc728330bcd8acf2f5.jpeg) Could it be your browser? Which browser are you using? ---

I’d stick with Chrome or Safari as those are the only 2 browser that will fully support PWA’s on mobile devices. I don’t know how current this is, but just to give you an idea ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/3/3712af4352f801f313b99507bd92145b4b600ef5.png) ---

Strange that it works in an other tab ! But i’ll follow your advice, and stick with Chrome when Gliding then ! Thanks for your answers ! ---

Tried with Chrome too, same result… I’ll stick with Youtube integration for the moment then 🙂 ---

And have you tried to embed it in a Glide app ? ---

Change http to https. All links need https. ---

Hi ! Perfect !!! Could be worth an addition in the documentation to avoid silly questions like mine 🙂 Thanks again for the investigation and solution ! ---

There is documentation regarding images, but not for videos. ![Screenshot_20200429-063811](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/0/07987caf8f57fa6dc702b27288d72631dac99d54.png) I think Google has been slowly pushing for an https only web, so it’s generally good practice to use https whenever you can. ---
