External URLs must use `http://` or `https://`. Uploaded files and remote URLs can be mixed on the same video. Recognized provider URLs such as YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Twitch, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, X/Twitter, SoundCloud, Spotify, Google Drive, Wistia, Streamable, and Loom render through their embed players.
If no thumbnail image is uploaded, the add/edit forms can auto-grab one from the first supported source. YouTube and Dailymotion use direct thumbnail URLs; Vimeo, Wistia, TikTok, SoundCloud, and Spotify use oEmbed when available. Local uploaded videos can generate a first-frame thumbnail when `ffmpeg` is installed on the server.
### Importing YouTube Channels
Use **Admin → YouTube Importer** to paste a YouTube channel URL, `@handle`, or `UC...` channel ID. The importer scrapes the channel's `/videos` page, extracts video data from `ytInitialData`, previews the results, and imports selected videos as remote YouTube embed sources. Duplicate YouTube watch URLs are skipped.
