I’m trying to figure out how the video column works… but I think something key is missing in the new columns panel.

@praveen @Adam_Stone_AppSheet

When looking at the video sample app: https://www.appsheet.com/Template/AppDef?appName=VideoColumns-71626#Data.Columns.Videos_Schema

I’m not sure how the video column knows what youtube video to play.

There’s nothing visible in any of the settings.

Maybe not, seems it’s the same in the old editor.

(Moving this comment to feedback in that case.)

The documentation on the video column type is very cryptic; even copying the sample app I’m unable to deduce how it’s working.

How does the video column know what to show?

It is in the data not in the column definition. Each row in the data will have a video url in it.

@praveen Thanks.

I also learned that you have to use the embed link (like if you want to use it in a show… I think…lol),

and also that you can use a spreadsheet formula to pull the embed link from another cell (which can be edited via the app).

any luck on rendering the video within the app to allow for youtube controls like “full screen” available?

Hi Jake did you resolve your full screen prob
