Hi @sunnysir, I’m not sure about the other areas you posted but I do see this is your first post on the forum. Without further info on the problem itself I cannot help you further. Please post as much info on the problem, with examples of how you have set it up in the builder as well as a link to your app so that I may test. ---

Try this as the solution: > [@How do I put Plyr Video to play videos from the vimeo site?](https://forum.adalo.com/t/how-do-i-put-plyr-video-to-play-videos-from-the-vimeo-site/4844/2): > > I’ve done just this in a recent project @jevilson Create a database entry text called something like Video URL Add your Vimeo links as: [https://player.vimeo.com/video/123456789](https://player.vimeo.com/video/123456789) (number is your video ID) Add this field as Magic Text to the Plyr Video That should work! ---

My solution is for Vimeo / YouTube - I think it’s best to use a video host. Where are you hosting the mp4 video? ---

As already stated. Unless the .mp4 extension is exposed by the URL, this link will not work. That means for most common video sites such as youtube and vimeo, linking directly like that will not work in this component. This is due to the nature of how vimeo and youtube protect their videos.
