Video
The component sends a video to the user. Works in Telegram, Viber, VK and Facebook.
On Telegram
Insert a link to a video in mp4 format to the component. The link must necessarily end with the format name.
In the target platform, specify Telegram.
The maximum file size is 20 MB.
Example of a link:
https://ia600701.us.archive.org/26/items/SampleVideo1280x7205mb/SampleVideo_1280x720_5mb.mp4 You can also use a video pre-uploaded to a public Telegram channel. To do this, copy the link to the message from the video and paste it into the Video component.
This is what the sent video looks like in Telegram:
On Viber
You can use the same link as for Telegram.
Specify the file size in bytes. You can find it out by looking at the video properties.
Insert a link to a video in mp4 format into the component. The link must necessarily end with the format name.

Sending Video from Google Drive to Telegram and Viber
This method is useful if you need to send a video uploaded to Google Drive to the user.
Open access to the file uploaded to Google Drive in the settings of the file itself.
You will get the following link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1U0JVTDc8-SQFRajMybS7UobVAlsuKc-W/edit If we insert it into component Video, the video opens on a new page when clicked. You can download it from this page, but this is an unnecessary action, and the link opens on the Google page. We also need to make a direct link, bypassing Google Drive.
In our link, this part is the file identifier:
1U0JVTDc8-SQFRajMybS7UobVAlsuKc-W We copy it and paste it into the following template:
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=file identifier We get a direct link to our file:
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=1U0JVTDc8-SQFRajMybS7UobVAlsuKc-W When you click on the link above, we get a redirect to the unpacked link to the file. It is better not to use such a link, because it is temporary:

We are not responsible for the correct operation of these services.
On VK
Specify the link to the video in VK. You can take it from a search, a personal page, or a community page.
If you take a link from the community videos, it looks like this:
https://vk.com/videos-134604697?z=video-134604697_456239019%2Fclub134604697%2Fpl_-134604697_-2
You need to reduce it to the parameters of the video itself:
https://vk.com/video-134604697_456239019
On the target platform, specify VK.
On Facebook
You can insert a link to a video from any resource, then a link to the source will come. For some resources, a preview comes.
If you want to watch the video in the dialog, you need to insert a link to the video uploaded to Facebook.
To send a video to Telegram and Viber, you need a direct download link. To do this, use any service that will give a direct link to download in mp4 format.
