Can we save MP4 file using file upload and use it in UI?

Hi,

I am trying to experiment on Video Field and I would like to upload my videos to appian and play them in UI. As I am implementing this, I got stuck as a!webVideo taking URL as source but how can I implement this?

    I don't believe there is a way to directly play a video stored as an Appian Document (uploaded by the user). As you noted the a!videoField requires that the a!webVideo is hosted at some URL. If this is a requirement then you may need to find a way to programmatically take the user's uploaded video file, host it somewhere, and then use a!webVideo pointed to that URL.
