How do I use the HTML5 Video? It only flashes colors slowly after "Loading" a video.

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

    Whenever I use the HTML5 Video to load something, it just slowly flashes colors and never plays a video. Why does this happen? PLEASE HELP!!!

    What kind of "Link" do I use? Just a simple Google Drive link to a file, or a Discord Link of a video?

    Based on your screenshot you are trying to use the HTML5 video object in the debug (Windows) runtime. That's just a placeholder because the HTML5 video object will only work on the HTML5 build type.

    You can include a video file with your HTML5 application or game without needing any kind of remote link. The steps are as follows:

    -Add the HTML5 video object to the frame.
    -Set the object's Video file URL property to resources/YourVideoFile.webm (replace YourVideoFile.webm with the name of your video file).
    -Change the build type to either HTML5 Development or HTML5 Final (the "Final" build type will be needed for any applications you actually release).
    -Build the application using "Build and Run". This should cause the application to automatically open in a browser window.
    -Go to the compiled application's folder and add your video file to the /resources sub-directory inside.
    -Reload the tab and test.

    The video file in this example is a WEBM file, but MP4 files should work as well.

    As a final note, the "Build and Run" option is required to test HTML5 applications locally since they cannot be run directly from the compiled game's HTML file. If you use Fusion's "Build and Run" option while targeting the HTML5 build type, then Fusion will start a local server on your computer that you can access through your browser. You can also just use the regular Build option, add the video file to the resources directory, and upload them to a remote server for testing if you have one and prefer that option.
