Render video in the Content Editor
Problem to solve
In order to support the full GitLab Flavored Markdown spec, the Content Editor must be support rendering and editing all the elements of the standard implementation .
Here, we are focused on rendering video.
Intended users
- Parker (Product Manager)
- Presley (Product Designer)
- Sasha (Software Developer)
- Eddie (Content Editor)
User experience goal
The user should be able to view and play video in the Content Editor.
Proposal
Create an extension for the Content Editor that supports rendering video content.
The Content Editor should support rendering <video> elements that exist in the document.
Details
Rendering of the text itself should follow our standard Pajamas markdown style.

Availability & Testing
Available Tier
This feature, as with the content editor itself, is available on both SaaS and Self-managed Free tiers
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
Successful and accurate rendering of video elements is the goal. This is a base assumption of functionality for an editor so success is measured by the lack of bug reports indicating failure to render content accurately.
