Im really trying to make Figma Slides my go-to above google slides, but every single time i turn to it i have to go back to google because i cant add videos to slides without inevitably erroring out and being removed. 

  • I have the correct Figma License
  • Ive deleted cache/Desktop Profile folder religiously. Sometimes buys me 1 video before erroring again, usually not even that. 
  • Videos im trying to add are .h264 mp4’s and usually under 10mb

Sometimes i can get a few videos added, but once 1 errors out, from then on its fighting the errors and i abandon figma and begrudgingly end up back in google slides where i can at least simply videos and gifs without issue.

Hi ​@Eric Sanderson ,
 

I understand you’re having trouble adding videos to your Figma Slides.

I just tested this on my end, and video uploading seems to be working as expected.

 

Are you seeing the error message “Invalid video was removed”? If so, this error typically occurs when there’s an issue with the video file format or size.

Based on what you shared, it sounds like your video files and permissions should meet the requirements, but could you please double-check the following?

  • Video formats: .mp4 using H.264 encoding, .webm using VP8 encoding

  • Maximum video file size: 100MB

  • Plan and permission requirements: Since it seems you have access to a few paid plan orgs and teams, please make sure you have edit access to the slide deck.

 

Once confirmed, could you also share a bit more detail?

  • Are you encountering this issue in the desktop app, browser, or both?

  • Does it happen in a specific Figma Slides file, or across all your files?

  • Does it occur when you drag and drop files from your computer, when you use the media picker, or both?

  • Do you see any different error messages, or does no message appear at all?

It would also be super helpful if you could share a video recording demonstrating the behavior, including the full window. This will help us understand exactly what you’re seeing and how we can best assist you.

 

If you’d prefer to share your video privately with our team, please follow the steps described here to submit a bug report so our team can investigate this further: Submit a bug report
