Hello @sariga,

Embedding a Power App that plays the video is a more reliable method. Can you please try this approach:

1. Create a Power App:

Go to Power Apps and create a new canvas app (Insert a Media control >choose the Video)
Set the Video URL property to the SharePoint link of your video, then save and publish it

2. In Power BI Desktop:

Insert > Power Apps to add a Power Apps visual to your report.
Select Choose App to embed the Power App you created in Power Apps.
If you need to pass parameters from Power BI to Power Apps (like a specific video name), you can drag fields into the Power Apps data area

Hope this helps.

Hi Sahir_Maharaj ,thanks for the quick reply, I'll add more.

Hi @sariga ,

Please follow these steps:

1.Copy the url of the video in sharepoint

2.Modify the following html code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>video</title>
</head>
<body>


    <video width="640" height="330" controls>
        <source src="Your_URL" type="video/mp4">
       
    </video>

</body>
</html>

3.Add a “Web content” tile and paste the modified html code.

4.Final output
