Using video/gif in PVA

[Viewman]

Hello!

I am currently attempting to use a video with my bot in PVA. I have adhered to the following instructions, but my attempts have proven to be unsuccessful:

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Webinars-and-Video-Gallery/Returning-an-image-as-a-message/td-p/...

Using this methodology, I have had the bot return images, but the videos did not output. The videos are currently hosted on both the Stream and Vimeo platforms. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi @Viewman ,

Follow below another topic that answers your question:

You can use a Power Automate flow to insert a video thumbnail into you Dialog in Power VA via markdown.

Example of markdown:

Clicking on the image icon in Dialog will play the Video in a new tab.
