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

Hello. I sent a notification about your idea to the company employees, expect an answer from them here in the comments.
@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.
Hi Nigel,
thank you for getting in touch.
I confirm I have reported your suggestion. Thanks!
