How to play Videos stored as Attachments in a Browser

I don't want to download the file first. I just want it to be played back in the browser

You can use our Video Player automation to generate shareable URLs that let anyone view video files stored in your Airtable attachment fields. Here's how:

1. Select the Airtable Table containing your video attachments.

2. Select the Attachments Field — the attachment field containing the video files you'd like to generate player URLs for.

3. Copy the generated Video Player URL Formula and paste it into a new formula field in your Airtable table. The formula generates up to 5 shareable video URLs per record (one for each of the first 5 files in the attachment field).

4. Optional: Click Try Out Formula to test that your URLs are working.

Video URLs from Airtable may expire. If a video does not load, try refreshing the page to get a fresh URL.
