How to embed a video into a record such as knowledge base article?

[Russ]

[searched whole forum, can't find a solution]

Hey guys, simple task that I can't resolve yet, add vimeo/youtube videos to a knowledge base article.
I tried by adding WYSIWYG field with, w/out iframe enabled, I just can't embed the video

It's a simple knowledge base article, but I need a video from a YouTube to be embedded above the article's text, not an attachment.
Not a dashlet. Could be a side element, but belonging to the record.

Example:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Thanks

This should work with the HTML Video Tag:

<video controls="" height="240" width="320">
<source type="video/mp4" src="path/to your/video">
<source type="video/ogg" src="movie.ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

Maybe you will have to upload the video first (e.g. in the documents), grab the ID and put that into the path as well. I did not test this, but should work.

Thank you so much, but is there a way embed a youtube video? Since youtube has all the company videos already..

normally that should work with an iFrame, but obviously the editor strips everything like an iFrame. I did not find how to prevent that.
One workaround could be, that you put instead an image (screenshot) of your video and link that to the youtube video.
