support embedded video

[IdrisMiles]

Hey,

Are there any plans to support embedded video?
It would be great to be able to upload a mp4 video file for example

We're planning on some file attachment support this year, I'm not sure yet whether this will include embedded videos – but it could.

For now your best bet is to upload to YouTube or Vimeo and make the video private/unlisted, you can then paste the link in Outline to get an embedded player.

While this is by no means a good solution, for now we've decided to integrate just the embeds that Google Drive give us. JIC anyone is searching on Google for this, and wants a quick and dirty solution:

1. Add a new file in the apps/embeds section called Drive.js (or whatever you want to call it) and just add the file https://gist.github.com/DeeGeeTill/5343e777f1a1d25092c700f544b3d5fb
2. Modify the index.js file as well (see the comment on the gist)

Again, it's a super-quick bodge job that will crash, but it's better than nothing.

To use it, upload a file to Google Drive, click the Share Link button as you would normally and then paste that link into your Outline doc.

It works with most Google Drive files including video.

@DeeGeeTill good stuff, this is exactly why we built the plugin system this way – if you're able to get it stable in the future I'd accept a PR to add support for these to the main codebase

any chance of adding support for video links from Google Drive that embed the same way as YouTube or Vimeo?

#1804 Should address this, to have support of embedded google drive urls.

#1804 Definitely could help on this.
