Hello,

So I have an idea for a game, but it would require a video GUI. The video GUI should be different than sound, and decals. You shouldn't upload the video to ROBLOX, instead, you should just have to paste the source of the video(ex. www.youtube.com/Ae23F3d9). Not storing the video on ROBLOX will save a lot of space.

Videos shouldn't require a moderator to review it before the video can be used in ROBLOX. I know that this feature would be able to be abused, but so can everything else in ROBLOX. There are videos that a user might want to use that are hours long, so it would take forever to review. I think that the source of videos should be limited to certain websites such as youtube to prevent abuse. Keep in mind, that users are already allowed to post links to youtube videos, which would be able to be abused just as easily.

The Video element should also work in SurfaceGuis.

Here's some of the methods that I think the Video element should include:

Video.Source
Type: String
URL of video. Videos should

Video.IsPlaying
Type: Boolean
Value set to whether the video is playing or not.

Video.Time
Type: Integer
Time into the video in seconds.

Video.Volume
Type: Integer
Volume of the audio of the video.

Video:Play()
Returns: nil
Starts playback of video.

Video:Pause()
Returns: nil
Pauses playback of video.

Video:Stop()
Returns: nil
Stops playback, and sets the time to 0.

Thank you,
frogs7798

I want this as well. I want to upload cutscenes for the game DIRECTLY IN THE GAME. Would give games a more professional level.

Easy cutscene making for people who can't script.

Plus, this is good to show off your roblox videos.

Sorry, no. At the very least it should be moderated, ROBLOX isn't responsible for youtube content, but it is if people put it on their site/games. I would love a GUI that can show video from a camera, or maybe a moderated youtube video.

This would be nice, and all, but your forgetting one thing, Videos take much longer to moderate than sounds and images, mods have to look at every frame, making this rather complex as of now.

Did you even read?
That's why I said no pre-moderation.

Youtube uses flash & HTML, which wouldn't be suitable for ROBLOX's GUI system.

@Drash
Flash is only used to play the video on their website. The actual video isn't stored in flash. That is why you can download a youtube video and convert it to mp4 or wav.

Even if youtube didn't work, they could allow some other video sites.
