Attaching videos to Confluence pages

Question

Hey fellow Confluence users,

I want to get your thoughts about attaching multimedia content such as videos and gifs directly to Confluence pages.

* Do you attach files directly to Confluence pages or host the videos elsewhere and provide links?
* Video and gif file sizes are usually big - a few MBs to a few hundred MBs. Does attaching them to the page impact the performance of your Confluence instance?
* What is the best approach to add multimedia content to Confluence pages?

Looking forward to thoughts/opinions/best practices.

Cheers!

Thanks Haran, I did use the Widget Connector on 2 separate pages with 2 separate Vimeo videos and one time it shows up as a URL link and the other time it shows up a thumbnail video. I need to understand why the difference.

Thank you for the detailed reply, Davin. It really helps a lot.

Can you recommend any applications for video streaming that go well with Confluence Cloud? Thanks.
