I have looked around the forum but couldn’t find the solution. I am trying to have [this video](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QCky1V-INH0B3tL85ckb0wkkGn8c9JPi/view?usp=sharing) showing on my home page. The [app link is here](https://fromthepoolside.glideapp.io/) I used the image component as per the [Glide instructions](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/components/media/video#add-videos-from-google-drive) as it allows more choices for displaying it. - The video is 22 mb - I can play it in an incognito window - using Http vs Https doesn’t make any dfifference - The video does upload and play fine if I use the video component (but as I said doesn’t look nice). Any ideas? Thanks ---

I don’t understand. You’re trying to play a video inside an image component? I can’t see that ever working. Where does it say you can do that? ---

In the Glide doc that I linked to in my post. ---

But @Stephanie_Bonnet it says you should use the video component. Not the image component ---

It says it’s similar (as in, the process to add is the same as) to adding an image. Not to actually add it as an image. ![Screenshot_20200609-163908](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/5/5c55ebfdffa46aa5da99b980d633982aef8f05a0.png) ---

Ok, got it. I used the video component but it does give the black borders top and bottom, I was hoping to have flexibility on the presentation of the video like the image. The stackmaker app that was showcased before has a video without those black borders. I’ll try to find the creator and ask them how they did it.
