Embed video files?

Is there a way to embed non-YouTube or Vimeo video into a text block?

Thank you,

Kevin Brandon

Where is the video coming from? Another service or are you needing to actually upload the files.

Thank you - the video is to be uploaded to the website and not come from another service.

Can I upload the video into a Perch Text Block? My client would like to add videos in amongst their text and photos.

Are you authoring in Markdown, Textile or HTML?

Thanks Drew, I'm using Redactor as the HTML editor for the Text Block currently.

Interesting that using the 'insert file' icon I can add a text link to a video.

Click on the text link of a small MP4 file and the video displays in a new page.

Click on the text link of a large MP4 file and the video downloads to my desktop.

Here is a sample page (https://georgetownalliance.ca/messages/video.php)

The only Redactor plugin I can see is for video embed code:
