Hi, can anyone point me to a right tutorial on how to stream SharePoint Library videos through 'Video' control in PowerApps? What link should i use in 'Media'?
 
I see tutorials on 'Stream' control but I can't use it (it seems it's retired)
 
Thank you

    I created a signage display which displays pictures and plays videos. The video files are in a library which is access by the app and times and references added to a collection
     
    I read the collection DisplayCollection from a timer and extract the video name and use .'Link to item' to get the reference which is used by the media control.
     
    Set(AdDisplayVideo, If(Index(DisplayCollection,1).DisplayType = "Video", First(Filter('Video Files', First(DisplayCollection).VideoFile = Name)).'Link to item', EmptyVideo));
     
     
     
    video file name would be sale2 
     
     
    I hope that you can understand these extracts from my app.

    Hi @CU19121404-0​​​​​​​
    A Video control using the 'Link to item' property of the selected Library record works fine.
