If you Google _Cloudinary Thunkable_, the first result should be the documentation for using Cloudinary which includes set up, a video, etc.

Look for the “Upload Media” section of the documentation. Once you generate the green `mediaURL` block, you can save its value to Firebase. To see what Firebase access using cloud variable names looks like, check out this example:

> Accessing stored variables can be slow so I recommend setting the app variable UserID to stored variable UserID and then using app variable UserID when accessing Firebase.

It took me hours to get this all working. It’s definitely possible but it does take some time to set up and test and troubleshoot.
