Video upload from host

[laura458]

I was trying to use a video of a product on my site, but because of the size, apparently I can't. Tried installing the "column right" enabled it, "add block to section" and used "listing block" using the inputs for "media, video" but nothing. I can insert a video hosted on Youtube, via the text editor using the youtube frame in the product detail page but I really don't want to do that.
So, how would I add a 10 second video for my product preview into my product page via hosting it directly from my web host?
Thank you in advance if anyone has any input.

Hello.
Try to insert video as HTML Resouce like https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp

Thank you thank you Basara! I got it figured out. Fiddled around and got the video doing what I wanted it too, but when I inserted it into the description area using the "video html format" it made that page give an "unsecure" page warning. I assumed it was because the code in that area was vulnerable to naughty things, sooooo, I actually discovered how to make the right column area do html.
I feel soooo dumb after all this time it took to finally figure out how simple it was.
Again, thank you!

Hello.
The unsecure warning can be if some of the resources are loaded via HTTP on the https page. Make sure all links to images or video started with HTTPS://

I tried that and still threw the warning. Deleted it and the warning was gone. But, inserting it into a block for html and inserting it into the column I wanted in a certain area, it was fine.
It was weird, but taught me more things about the cart and how to do mire things with it.
