How do I use an iframe enbed code to run a video in a component? I can see I can upload the mp4 or add a URL but I’m sure I can also use an iframe embed.

Hi Mike,  
Not sure you can do that. To embed I always use the Video Stream component. The video just needs to be on one of these:

Thanks Andy, really appreciate your response. I’ll change to Video Stream.
