Using html video tags, you can add video to your dashboard.

Attached is an example model that demonstrates this.

Below is a screenshot that shows the steps for how that model was set up.

The html snippet came from an example at w3.org.

If you want to point at a local file on the file system, you can do that as well:

<video controls="">
 <source src="file:///D:/Documents/FlexSim 2017 Projects/trailer.mp4" type="video/mp4; codecs="avc1, mp4a"">
</video>

To reference a file relative to the model's directory, you can use the keyword flexsimmodel in the src:

<video controls="">
 <source src="flexsimmodel/trailer.mp4" type="video/mp4; codecs="avc1, mp4a"">
</video>

Thank you

One last thing what is the code I have to write in flexscript or process flow to trigger it to play automatically

For example

I have a userevent command which triggers when variable is changed and the video pops up and plays automatically and closes when done

Thanks again

@Raashid Mohammed

You could use the autoplay attribute.

Or you could use the play() method using javascript.

You can call JavaScript from FlexScript with callwebscriptmethod().
