Hello everyone.

I seem to have the same problem as in this post from two years ago : https://forum.figma.com/ask-the-community-7/video-not-able-to-be-prototyped-as-child-instance-of-component-26684?tid=26684&fid=7.

I copy a video to my assets page. I make it a component using CTRL+ALT+K. I go to my work page where I paste this component, then I go to the interactions (prototype). I want to play it on click, but in the video dropdown menu, my video is grayed out, so I can't select it as the target for my playback action.

If I copy the same video to my work page (without it being a component), the video isn't grayed out (interactions in prototype).
Can you tell me why? Is it simply that videos can't be components that would allow the use of prototype and interaction functionality?

Thank you very much for your help.
Yann
