Video and audio

Video and Audio each hold one file from the media library: a book trailer, a podcast episode, a sound sample.

They share the upload settings. Use Allowed MIME types to accept only the formats your player supports, such as video/mp4 or audio/mpeg, and set a Max file size so editors don't upload files too large for your server.

For a video hosted on YouTube or Vimeo, store its address in a URL field instead, and display it with an Embed block.

In the block editor, bind these fields to the core Video and Audio blocks with a dynamic tag.
