Hi,  has anyone been able to successfully add a video URL to their landing page?

I have an mp4 i created and followed the instructions.

By default i uploaded my mp4 to youtube, tried the link.  got an error.

instructions suggested vimeo - tried that - it also failed.  got an error. about the video URL not being in the correct format..

Do you know what other requirements are needed, besides the video being an MP4?

thanks.

  To add - I downloaded a free .mp4 video as suggest from https://coverr.co    and uploaded it to youtube.

  I got the same error.  

  Oddly enough, i found out that if I superficially add ".mp4" at the end of the link in arcadier - it will save.  However, since the link from both vimeo or youtube does not incldue .mp4 in the url link - it points to nowhere.  But it gets passed the error issue......

  My thinking is that there is a bug in how the landing page feature checks if the video is an mp4 by having the .mp4 extension in the URL - but there are no service providers (main ones vimeo & youtube) that would provide a link like that.

  Hey guys, you can get the MP4 link from coverr.co straight by right clicking on the selected video on coverr.co and copying the video link. The link should look something like this:

  https://app.coverr.co/s3/mp4/Bokeh-Go-Around.mp4 

  Check out this screenshot for how:
