All videos from social media can be aggregated and interacted with in a Nosto UGC display. However, you will find that the configuration and settings of some videos will not allow them to be played inline, while certain other videos can play with no issues.

This comes down to the source, how the different channel hosts the videos and the type of video that is uploaded.

Native videos from Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are unable to play inline, however, videos from Vine can play inline, along with gifs.

This is because Vine provides their player meaning that the video is playing inside a hosted iframe page. The Vine video player handles the looping and muting of the video automatically. The nature of a Vine means that they are very short, allowing them to load and play very quickly.

For other native videos, from YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter, the video is played through our player. Due to the random length, size, and volume of the video, auto-playing them might not be the best option. If you had a widget with many videos displayed at once, viewing the page would mean downloading the videos (some could be hundreds of megabytes) all at the same time.
