Please enable playing of videos in design mode and dev mode, not just prototype mode.

As a designer,
I want to be able to include videos that viewers may play,
So that my viewers/designers/devs may better understand what I have designed.

As a dev,
I want to be able to include videos that viewers may play,
So that my viewers/designers/devs may better understand my thoughts visually

Better still, I can then link videos to take people on a narrated tour of my design.

Currently, videos do not play inline on the design, but need to pop up in a preview modal. Not great UX from a UX platform.

Check out Miro Talktrack for inspiration:

Using frames or Prototypes is fine but it would be great if video can be played directly from the canvas.

 

We use Figma for reviews and feedback and having to Shift+Space and have the video played in a separate window is not ideal.

 

Bonus points if we could draw directly on the video/image for feedback

Actually it’s possible, but you need a Youtube link, for example.

Sorry for the quality, it’s a gif, there is no option to add a video without URL in the new forum.

that's a good workaround but not very useful if we need to upload every single video to a youtube account, especially for security reasons.

It would be great if the videos simply play in the canvas like they do in other apps like Milanote
