Ah so I can’t help myself from posting about this again! I am SOOOO 😇 excited to learn today that we can upload up to 1G videos so now we have the ability to get user generated video content!

I was able to sort (well with help of @ThinhDinh) how to generate thumbnail for videos hosted on Youtube/Vimeo/Dailymotion but with videos from file picker, I don’t think this is possible? Anyone know?

Also, compare the experience for video in my new app - comparing the list items of videos hosted (where we can generate the thumbnail) to the file picker upload where I have to display cards with no preview. Nevertheless, the video works flawlessly! YAYYYY- THANK YOU GLIDE TEAM! 🤩 Anyway worth watching to see the Praying Mantis that got up to my terrace and prayed on the ledge! 😁

I assume this is pro-app only? Regardless of Sheets or Glide Data Tables? Was there an official post for this?

I don’t see that option in the builder yet although we’ve heard it’s coming…

@Deena I know this is an old post, but do you have the link to your Loom video - the link is broken. TIA
