title: How do you embed video in Grafana?
body: <p>I am trying to embed an MP4 into a Grafana dashboard on an Ubuntu 18.04 server. I have entered this into the "text" dashboard in HTML mode.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;video width="320" height="240" controls autoplay loop&gt;
    &lt;source src="/home/testing/Downloads/video.mp4" type="video/mp4"&gt;
    Your browser does not support the video tag.
  &lt;/video&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This shows the controls but does not show the video. When I put the same code in an html page on its own, however, the video shows as expected.</p>
  
  <p>I have also placed a video in <code>/var/www/html</code> but this fails to show too.</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong here?</p>
