Greetings,

I am looking for a component that will detect if the media is an image or video and will play the video or simply display the image. if there isn’t one, will I need to ‘fake’ it by using conditional visibility and switch based on the current image type? Also, is the component capable of a carousel effect…

Thanks in advance!

Hi Raynell,  
you’ll have to fake it, put a video player under an image viewer (adalo wont show the image viewer if there’s no image) use the file URL as a source for both image viewer and video player, it’ll work,

Cheers,  
Houssam.
