I’ve used the Video component successfully in the past, but for some reason it isn’t working for me today on a new project. Clicking on the video in the browser preview does not play it - it simply vanishes from the page. Can anybody help? Project uploaded here :elementsapp://downloadDocument/cyBc6Hvwp4eU ---

I have a similar problem but I have the video in the video resource and it has worked before but now doesn’t (don’t know if video component was updated or my host is screwing up). I would prefer to have Vimeo host the videos but I’m not sure how to do this: modal? Html? Regardless, if you go to [Bailin.works/presentation](https://www.bailin.works/PROF-PRESENTATIONS/) and click on either video thumbnails, nothing appears in the video. This happens throughout the website with video. In Browser video with play button: ![Thumbnail on site](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/9/2/923c1c7a2e93fc5cf71886af9f0d06d450bc98a1.jpeg) Browser after clicking on video play button: ![thumbnail clicked no video](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/2/f/2fe5c8a1855bbb81264f71e91ee092c50b899498.jpeg) _Note: This website is locked except for the presentation page which is accessible._ ---

Video works on Chrome but not DuckDuckGo or Safari. Anyone know why that would happen? ---

Still need an answer. Why is my video not functioning in Safari or DuckDuckGo Browsers? Is there a code or setting I need to add to the video setting? All other browsers function. ---

I see that I get this error on Safari: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/b/3/b3b8af6cfd251139d3176d9e34133bf4b481b6f2.png) How do I solve this?
