We store our videos in Amazon AWS. When I capture the link in a Media Block in rise it creates a link to the file instead of displaying it in the display window (which it does for the sample Vimeo file). How do I get it to display the video in the lesson window?
It sounds like you're using the Multimedia Embed block type, is that correct? You might have more success embedding your video using an iFrame code in that block.
Copy the iFrame code below, and replace the bolded text with the video URL. Let me know if you'd like some help with that!
<iframe src="Insert Your URL to the Video Here"></iframe>
