Embedding Videos from Amazon S3

Sep 14, 2018

We've run into a situation where a mp4 video hosted on our Amazon S3 needs to be embedded in a Rise presentation. I have updated our S3 bucket properties and added the video/mp4 metadata tag to the file in order to allow streaming. After doing this, I am able to use an iframe to embed the video, but it autoplays once the page loads. After searching numerous threads, I have not been able to find a workaround to prevent the video from autoplaying. Any suggestions? Also, I've tried just using the url of the video intead of the iframe snippet, but rise throws an error regardless of the file's permissions.

From what I understand, the video from S3 will play through the browser player settings. Since you're using an iframe you have to figure out how to turn off autoplay. 

I tried adding something like ?autoplay=o or false and neither worked.

I created a blank HTML page and added this code to the page.

<video controls>
<source src="name.mp4">
</video>

Then I inserted the page as an iframe.
