You could use the new webview feature to play video on iOS/Android. Otherwise playing direct is not possible yet. Extension system may allow it.

It’s possible to play video using the webview component that was introduced in Defold 1.2.84.

But only on iOS/Android, right?

On other targets it will give an error. If you want to use it you will need platform specific conditional code to avoid the errors on targets which don’t support it.

Sorry, yes, currently only iOS and Android. So yeah, the extension system (once in place) will probably be a better choice.
