How to use Video Pro by Cloudscope custom visual?

Hi all,

I am trying to make use of "Video Pro by Cloudscope" custom visual. As of my learnings, there are two visuals by cloudscope that lets us embed video 

1.Video Pro by Cloudscope - Certified (can't access external links[http:\, https:\].Need to embed video within dataset)

2.Video by Cloudscope- Uncertified ( can access external links [http:\, https:\]

 

I am clear on how "Video by cloudscope" custom visual works. Can anyone help me in understanding the functionality of "Video Pro by Cloudscope". what is the difference between video and video pro?
Also, any guidance on how to embed video within dataset .
Here I am trying  to use excel file for exploring purpose. Not sure on how to embed a video inside excel.

I tried to embed using insert-> object method in excel but while importing excel source to Power BI, it gets displayed as null.
Any solution to this asap would be much helpfull.

Thanks in advance.
