There are some native extensions for playing videos inside game, check out which one could suite you:

GitHub - defold/extension-videoplayer-native: Videoplayer extension using native views

GitHub - defold/extension-videoplayer-mpeg: Native extension to play back mpeg1 video using...

And one by @dlannan:

RLE Video in-game

While building some UI bits for the f18 game Ive been working on, I decided I really wanted the TVs in the ready room to play some actual video. I didnt want any thing huge (that consumed memory and cpu) so I decided to make one… because you can… Two days later… its looking great. Ive released the project here in a standalone example. I’ll make it extension friendly too (so you can just link it in). Feel free to use it however you want. Happy to answer any questions abou…

What are you struggling with? I suggest you download the extension repository and test the included example project to get an understanding of how it works.
