hi  
I can’t get the video to work either?  
How do you make the video work?  
Taking my video from YouTube.  
Can you give me the code of the block?  
Or show me how I should do it?  
thanks  
Sharon

Hi sharontal10030k6slwe, welcome to Thunkable! 🎉

Be sure to check out [How to ask Great Questions v2.0](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-ask-great-questions-v2-0/2689983/1), the [Community Guidelines](https://community.thunkable.com/t/community-guidelines/78/8), and our [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.thunkable.com/getting-started/get-started) to make the best of your Thunkable Community experience!

To play a video on the video component the video URL must end in .mp4, .mov, etc  
Instead of the video component, you could use a web viewer. Similar post here: [Video - problem (not working) - Questions about Thunkable / Issues / Bugs - Community](https://community.thunkable.com/t/video-problem-not-working/2987775)
