Use Videos

Import videos into the page

Similarly to Images and Audio, you can add Videos to the page using the addVideo() method of the addOnUISdk.app.document object, which expects a Blob object as an argument.

Example

// sandbox/code.js
import addOnUISdk from "https://new.express.adobe.com/static/add-on-sdk/sdk.js";

addOnUISdk.ready.then(async () => {
  try {
    const videoUrl =
      "https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/static/history/alsj/a11/a11-16mm-mag-c.mp4";
    const video = await fetch(videoUrl);
    const videoBlob = await video.blob();

    await addOnUISdk.app.document.addVideo(
      videoBlob // 👈 Blob object
    );
  } catch (e) {
    console.error("Failed to add the video", e);
  }
});

Please note that you can use fetch() also to get videos that are local to the add-on; in this case, you can use paths relative to the add-on's root.

addOnUISdk.ready.then(async () => {

    // 👇 Local video
    const videoUrl = "./7744218-uhd_2732_1440_25fps.mp4";
    const video = await fetch(videoUrl);
    // ... same as before
