How do i display a video using IBM Watson Assistant

Question

I have create a Chat bot using IBM Watson Assistant and i need to load an video for some responses. How do i embed a video into the chat bots' response?

Answer 1

You can use HTML tags to embed a video into the response box as shown below:

Please note that HTML tags won't work in the Try It Out panel but will definitely be rendered in the application.

If you are looking for dynamic content, then you will have to pass context to the application side and then render video from there.
