Video files wont work on figma sites

I have some video files I want to add to my website, but a lot of interaction features have been simplified and none of the videos play. Wondering if it could be a bug of some sort? Already troubleshooted as much as I could, clearing cache and tried placing every video in its separate frame.

 

Possibly would like the videos to play on hover although I don’t think it’s a feature yet.

    Hi ​@sui.x,

     

    I understand you're looking to play video fills on your Figma Sites file.

     

    Just for your reference, Figma Sites doesn't currently support native video uploads. So, if you try to upload a video as a fill, it won't play back in the Preview view.

    Instead, to add a video, we recommend using the embed features in Sites. You can use the YouTube embed, or the generic URL or HTML embed if your video is hosted on a different platform. You can find more information on how to use these features here: Insert blocks, embeds, webpages, and design libraries into a site.

     

    Also, if you'd like to see this feature implemented, we'd love for you to post your requests in our Suggest a Feature category. Our Product Managers regularly review community suggestions there, so you can directly share your ideas with them.

     

    Thanks,
