Embedding mp4 videos in knowledge articles

StephLindorff

It doesn't seem possible to embed an mp4 file in a knowledge article.   Ideally I'd like to store the mp4 in the Video Library and play it in a knowledge article.

Can someone a) tell me I'm wrong and how to do it or b) why this is the case.

Thanks!

Steph

I would take a look at this wiki article for adding new video types that can be embedded.


Adding Media to HTML Fields - ServiceNow Wiki



I would first try to host that video somewhere else like youtube or vimeo and then use that site's emben code to embed it in a knowledge article. ServiceNow isn't really optimized to stream video so I've typically had much better performance out of other options like those I mentioned.

Hey Brad - Is there any security issue if i make html_sanitize=false?



If i don't want to use this property, is there any work around?


Hi Brad,

Unfortunately the Wiki page is no longer available.  Would you happen to know how I could add a youtube video to a service catalog item?
