functional criteria

• It should not include Kaamelott characters
• It should display a video whose text is close to a real answer
• If there is no actual good answer, a default answer that could work in any situation should be used

Does it mean that the bot searches for the right video using youtube's API or the bot already has a list of possible youtube videos to choose from ?

[elBichon]

The bot would have a list of videos, just like the text based answers but with the corresponding link to a video

[Terag]

It is close to what we wanted to do with the bot but with audio files. I personally like the idea!

It would then make sense to create a media package that will include audio and video formats related features.

[elBichon]

the video would be played as a youtube embedded video, not as showing the video file itself

[Terag]

Understood, however the bot will still have a library of URL for these video.

Also it is important to note that a discord bot can only share the video link in the chat.
We should check if the bot can stream videos, from the documentation it seems that it is not yet supported for bots.

a first step could be to send the link within the text channel then later on (on another ticket) we could see to stream the audio and/or the video if available
