Multimedia macro doesn't show file options

[Jessica Miles]

I'm trying to add a video onto a Confluence page. But rather than have users download it, I want it to be playable on the page itself. Consequently, I've been attempting to use the multimedia macro. However, when I open it up the file drop-down is blank and I can't figure out why. The mp4 video (it's 11 secs long and 274 kb) is already on the page, so I assumed that it would appear within the drop-down.

Hi @Jessica Miles ,

Could You please check that video exist in attachment list of the page?

By any chance do you have a colon ":" on your title?

This was the case for me, I removed it , include the files as multimedia and then add the colon back to the title

Good find @Roberto Valdez ! Thanks for sharing, I just ran into this issue on a customer instance. Still not fixed for Version 7.13.7

I had this same issue. Turns out that multimedia macro is not supported if the page is a draft. Drop in your file as a placeholder and publish the page. Click edit and try using the multimedia macro again. You should now see your file and be able to imbed it in the document.
