The Video Widget in the form designer enables users to seamlessly incorporate video content into their forms. It supports both pre-defined and dynamic video sources, offering flexibility and boosting user engagement. Users can upload and specify a fixed video source that will be uniformly shown to all form consumers or configure the widget to pull the video source from a specific field within the form.
