Add url Function to Include More Video Platform Options to wx5  en

Hi Incomedia,

I want to be able to add videos to my websites that are on alternative video platforms (not Youtube or Vimeo) due to Google/Youtube's continued censorship.

There are many other video platforms on the internet and so want to see the option in WX5 to simply take a video's URL and place it in a field like we already have in X5 for Youtube and Vimeo.

I think it crazy this hasn't already been done.

Thanks, Nigel

@Nigel ... ma quali piattaforme  alternative ?

perchè è un po' vago...

e di piattaforme alternative ne esisteranno centinaia ... 

"forse" se metti anche un link della piattaforma , aumenti le possibilità che lo STAFF ti accontenti... prima o poi...

Hi Claudio,

Here is why I opened this idea post: https://helpcenter.websitex5.com/en/post/240822

I propose an option where one can just insert a URL into WX5 for ANY video on ANY video platform and will show.  There are hundreds of video platforms on the internet aside from YouTube and Vimeo.

The video platforms I wanted to use are https://www.brighteon.com, https://d.tube, https://www.bitchute.com, but there are many others.

Currently with WX5, if I find a video I want to display that's on an alternative video platform I have to try and find the same video on YouTube.  I want the freedom to be able to just add a video to WX5 from any video platform.
