Send video to chatbot

I have checked the only post about sending video, alas it is from 2016 and it is very confusing, I have tried to make work a youtube video and a facebook video with no success. Even the screenshots are not updated. ¿Are there any updated samples about this?, Thanks!.

Hi @Augusto_Vera,

Which platform are you looking to send video on?

I intend to send video through Facebook Messenger

@Augusto_Vera

The following custom request should work:

{
 "attachment":{
   "type":"video",
   "payload":{
     "url":"http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/VfE_html5.mp4"
   }
 }
}

Here’s an example flow:

Edit:
Just a quick note - YouTube doesn’t give you the full URL including file extenstion so you wouldn’t be able to send a YouTube video unless you can get a copy uploaded publically.
