Shouldn’t this be updated to reflect the new 5GB storage limit? If I was new and was reading this, I’d be deterred.

Amazing article. I have a question regarding the searchbar. How do we render results in a new page from an input field that lives in a reusable element (the header)?

How YouTube has their header on all pages and their search bar takes you to a new page when you enter your query. How do we emulate that on Bubble?

I followed the tutorial but when I want to play the video I have an error on the youtube player. it seems that he is not able to read the video stored in AWS. Is there something I missed ?

Try this it worked for me!
(This is a HTML elemnt)

Limiting the length of video upload. Can you do that so it is only 60 seconds like on Tik Tok? Also curious if anyone has figured out how much storage per month would cost per like 1,000 videos. Server costs are the big one here I would think.

Thanks!

I think for a video project like this one would have to consider the Wasabi storage plugin

Hi, can you fix this issue now? I have exact same issue. I also followed BenjiM’s HTML method but it does not work for me. If you have already fixed this issue, could you please share how? Thank you in advance.

Hi, sorry. It is fixed now for me. I followed the instruction here" How to Add Video to Your Bubble.io App - YouTube.
