[SalesForce] How to play video from Salesforce file in lightning component

There are few videos in files (Lightning files) of my slesforce org. Is there a way i can play/preview them in an iframe inside a lightning component?

Best Answer

I normally use this approach for expose video files in my lightning components:

<video width="100%">
    <source src="{!'../sfc/servlet.shepherd/document/download/' + file.Id}" type="video/mp4" />
Your browser dont support video tag
</video>

You need acces to the file in order to see the file.

<video width="75%" controls="controls">
      <source src="{!URLFOR($Resource.Video)}" type="video/mp4" />        
      Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

Something like this should work. I have not tested it out but in general should work. Most HTML tags would work in VF page and so the only thing that we need to do is see how we reference the static resource.

The only resources you're allowed to link to directly are "self" (including static resources), and *.visual.force.com (Visualforce pages). However, you can embed secure iframes that might include a media player. As an example, I went to youtube, copied a random link from my Recommended list, and embedded it directly into an application. Not all videos allow themselves to be embedded, but you could upload all of your videos to youtube as private videos (with URL sharing), so they would only be visible within your app or by someone with a direct link. I presume that other streaming video providers may also work as long as they support embedding.
