I have a Dashboard which shows a video stream based on a selected input.

When I embed this in my Visual Overview, I can’t see the video streams. All other functionality is working. Is there something that I need to configure so that I can see the video streams?

Cube makes use of the CEF (Chromium based) browser engine. It does not include a license to play H264/AAC encoded video files (see here).

Instead, you could use video files encoded with Ogg or WebM with VP8/9.

Converted the video files to WebM and now it works. Thanks!

Hi Jens, what kind of embedded web browser are you using. In more recent versions this has been changed from Internet Explorer to Chromium. In some cases, it might be worth checking if the issue is resolved by making use of IE again. You can do this by adding the option to your shape (DM Help):
Options : UseIE

Note that the new Dashboards does not officially support IE.
