Add a video to powerapps and send it to sharepoint

[Maxwell123]

Hello, 

I am building an inspection app that I want users to be able to send a video with. I know natively there is no way to to "Upload Video" to powerapps. I was wondering if there is any hack to get a video into powerapps. I have tried using an attachment control but the max file size is per attachment is 10MB. Is there someway to use the "Video" control to achieve this? 

I watched a great video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQVYid1p_vA

But I just cant figure out how to get the file of that size in.

Let me know if anyone has any idea!

Thanks

Hi@Maxwell123,

Based on the issue that you mentioned, do you want to save a video from PowerApps to SharePoint?

Instead of create a flow, I prefer to recommend to converting the video into a binary format for storage. I have a test on my side, please take a try as below:

I have two columns, one is Title by default and another one is a Multi-line-of-text column named 'Video'.

Add an AddPicture control.

Add a button and set the OnSelect property as below:

Patch(
       UploadVedio,
       Defaults(UploadVedio), /*add a new record*/
       {Title:Text(Now()),
         Vedio: Substitute(JSON(UploadedImage1.Image,JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData),"""","")
       }
)

Hope it could help.

Best Regards,

Qi

Hi guys,

How did you get the "add picture" button to allow videos? I can only see photos on my iphone when selecting this.

I plan to use the json hack to upload but am stuck at the first step. 

thanks!
