Hi,
I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong or if it's a bug that I am experiencing. When I use the video control (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/controls/control-audio-video) and play this mp4 file on a desktop or laptop the video will play just fine.
When I use an Android or Apple device, the video won't play at all. Does anyone know why this is? I'm hosting the video in a document library on Sharepoint and using the direct path to the file. The library is public (company-wide).
Thank you
Hi @DancingCatx64 ,
Have you tried putting in in Stream and using the Steam control - I can tell you that it works fine on mobile devices. I think the issue with the video control is due to the way that the mobile app tries to resolve URLs anonymously.

Hi @WarrenBelz,
I just tried that suggestion and I just ran into another issue, I'm relying on the onend option of the video control (to show a checkbox that someone can check once they fully watched the video). I guess the only other option that I could try is is to upload the video to the same server as our website and link it from there.
Thank you for your suggestion though 🙂
