Videos hosted on Azure Storage - getting embedding to work

Good Day

We have a number of videos stored on Azure Storage, and I've created links to them including the SAS, and they can be played directly in the browser.  I can also place an Iframe on the documents, and indeed, they will also play the video.

Is there a more tasteful way to add the videos?  The iframes take the entire row, and autoplay, so I want more of a card view.  If I paste a YouTube video, that's the default behaviour, and it's exactly what I want with my Azure links.

Thanks

Hi @Infrastructure Solutions 

Linking to a trick that I found out to be working with stubborn links - so far, it worked with videos, docs, slides, figma, miro...

It's about creating an embed link in the tool itself then removing the embed furniture from the link and use it in the iframe macro. So I'm not link to a file, or a figma in its workspace, but to a visual presentation of the said file in the given tool.

Azure might be a different beast but I hope this can at least inspire you if it does not solve the issue straight away.

I don't know why, and it seems like a bug, but if you insert the iframe then view it in Confluence the videos autoplay, no matter what you do.  If you upload them to the Scroll Viewport, they dont',  so it seems to work well!  Thanks for the idea.

I like @Kristian Klima answer. 

One other suggestion, when I have an issue with sizing, I like to see if throwing it inside a table will help.

Or you can play with layout columns (also works for aligning tables every which way :) )
