How do you add a video into Widget?

I’ve tried this, but everytime i load up the game the media is just invisible, kinda frustrating. Could anyone tell me how to do this, please?

ASThomaSA, there’s quite a bit of documentation on UE4 video support at the link below including using it with UMG. Have you read through this, yet?

Note that the encoding format of your video does matter. One of the most popular formats, .MP4 encoded as H.264, is not yet supported (according to this documentation.)

I’d also like to know this. The documentation only shows how to add it to a level.
I found this video…

…and it’s exactly what I need to do however, this looks like it was possible to do in an old version and now does not work in 4.15 :frowning:

Any help would be awesome!

Update:
I can get the video to play in the UI widget by doing this but there is no sound.

Actually, ignore what I’ve just posted.

If i open this level and run it, there is no sound but when I run the game from the start and this level is loaded the sound is working fine.

How did you add sound to the video? I can’t do it. Please help. Thanks :slight_smile:

You need to add a “media sound” component to the scene and bind it to the character’s camera for example :slight_smile:
