Hi yarkinzhan 

 

We're having a bit of trouble reproducing this issue on our end. I ran this by a colleague who was able to view the video you linked on an iPhone.

 

I have received word from another team member that embedding videos like this isn't supported at this time. which explains the inconsistency across platforms. While I can't make any guarantees or provide an ETA, it is a feature that we are investigating.

 

Regards,

Ben

Hey BenDBX !

Yeah, not very cool ((

Is there really no alternative code that will solve the problem?

    Hi yarkinzhan , 

     

    I'm Amanda, a product manager at Dropbox. Our team is investigating video embedding, and would love to learn more about your use case! (For example, what are the videos about? Who are you sharing these videos with? How many people do you expect view your videos?) Any information you can share would be extremely helpful! 

     

    If you're also open to a chat, we could set one up in the coming weeks. 🙂

     

    Best,

    Amanda
