How to add dynamic, resizable videos to your Doc without Youtube

Cameron Golinsky

🌁 Step 1) - Install ‘Edit Images’ Pack to Doc

In order to embed a video from your table, into your doc (without a youtube link), you will need to download a pack to convert the file into a URL 🔗

I will be using ‘Edit Images’ by Paul Danyliuk

⁠

⁠

📹 Step 2) - Create a Video Table

⁠

Video Table Name, Video, Video URL⁠

Create a Table with three columns

⁠

⁠

1) Name

Column Type: Text

2)Video

Column Type: File

3) Video URL

Column Type: Text

Add the ‘Edit Images’ Pack to the Video URL column

Add [formula]

[ AsImageLink( Video ) ]

Disclaimer: It may say “Wrong Argument”, but it works.

⁠

⁠

🔄 Step 3) - Add a Refresh Button

This button needs to be pushed after each video is added so that they all create a URL.

Create a button → Actions [Refresh Pack column(s)] → Video Table - Video URL

⁠

⁠

Note: The button’s image can be adjusted by copying an Image URL Link into the Image() formula.

⁠

⁠
