Adding video to the form

Support
1

I want to have participants taking survey to first click link to view a
short video (2 min) and then answer quiz questions based on the video, all
within the survey. I'm using xlsforms. I see the instructions for capturing
video, but that's not what I need. I have the videos already loaded in
tablet and I want to within the survey have the video and survey questions
connected. How do I do this?

Create a column called 'video' in your XLS survey sheet.

Then put the filename of the short video, including the extension, in that
column. when that question is displayed, there will be a "play" button
displayed to play the video.

If you want the video to auto-play, then you currently need to edit the XML
file and add an autoplay="video" to the question prompt with the video (or
autoplay="audio" if playing an audio recording).

Hi,

I have tried this, it works fine but just shows a small PLAY button to run the video, which when pressed, starts the external video player (device default) to play the video. Please confirm if this is the expected behaviour. I thought it might show up in a rectangle player box, kind of like YouTube embedded video, which is more easy-to-view for the user, on the page. Is there any way to make it like this?

By the way, my video file is MP4. I am mentioning it so that if some other file extension can give this box-like player interface, I would be happy to convert.

Regards,
Saad
