Its pretty simple, try this:

server.r

library(shiny)
shinyServer(function(input, output, session) {})

ui.r

shinyUI(
  fluidPage(
    tags$video(id="videoID", type = "video/mp4",src = "ExampleVideo_1280x720_1mb.mp4", controls = "controls")
  )
)

Hi,
I tried the code, but it doesn't work for me. it seems rshiny can not find my video. but i  save it to the subfolder www

Hi, @Betty,

Could you please share your workaround so that we could resolve the issue asap?

Hi, @Gitika,

Thanks for replying.

My R Studio is version 4.0.1 (I thought version may affect, so I updated it from version 3.6 to 4.0. But not helpful)

Below is my code:


library(shiny)

server = function(input, output) {}

ui =fluidPage(tags$video(src = "Peak", type = "video/mp4", controls = T))

shinyApp(ui, server)

I saved my video file in the subfolder "www"


However, it seems my code doesn't work

Hi@Betty,

It seems your browser is not supporting the video format. Try with another video file. And get back to us if you get the same thing.

Hi,

Thanks for suggestion.

I tried different videos and different format, nothing changed. Is there any other way to insert videos into Rshiny dashboard?

Hi, @Betty,

It's quite easy to add a video. To do so please structure your app like so:

server.r

library(shiny)
shinyServer(function(input, output, session) {})

ui.r

shinyUI(
  fluidPage(
    tags$video(id="video2", type = "video/mp4",src = "SampleVideo_1280x720_1mb.mp4", controls = "controls")
  )
)
