Allow videos to be viewed as videos and not a pic of a camera

Suzanne O · Oct 9, 2025

Whenever i post up a video of my cat doing something cute it always comes up as a video camera image in the media viewer table. Is there anyway of allowing videos to be shown just like they are on the cloud?

Is there a setting i've missed or do we have to add some code?

Is it one of these supported file types?

Have you tested it here? Also how are you trying to embed it, as a link or attachment?

Yep.
I upload via an attatchment.

Have found that I can change the thumbnail from the weird camera to an image that i'm after.
But i would like to be able to do this automatically.

Have checked for Ffmpeg settings and commands as well.

Got help via a ticket.
Just want to say thanks to the staff member that pointed me out to it.
Thanks @Paul B
