    So, do you want to play audio in your form? You can try the following widget: https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/soundcloud 

    Demo: https://form.jotform.com/61721862337962 

    If you want to display a video file, the only option would be uploading it to YouTube, getting the video link, and embedding in your form through the YouTube widget: https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/youtube 

    Follow this guide if you need to add the widgets to an existing form: https://www.jotform.com/help/252-How-to-Add-a-Widget-to-Your-Form 

    If this is not what you meant, please explain further.

    Hi, this is not what I mean.
    We use the browse/attatch function in my form, so users of the form can
    send an mp4 video attached with the form to us.
    For us it should be very helpfull if we can play the mp4 on a mobile
    directly, without first downloading the mp4. The same as it works to open
    jpeg files> click and watch.
    Groet,

    I'm not sure if this is possible to do, I guess you want to view it from the submission email?

    I'll check a bit more and get back to you via this thread.

    Thank you!

    I'm afraid that I wasn't able to find a way to do it from the email directly, but if it works for you, you can integrate your form with Google Drive: https://www.jotform.com/help/192-How-to-Integrate-a-Form-with-Google-Drive

    Since it will allow you to view the video directly, without downloading.

    Hope it helps.

    Thank you!
