Media elements in Adaptive Card

  • Άρθρο

Adaptive Card media element is a component that is used to embed audio and video files directly into your Adaptive Card. Media elements enhance the user experience by making the cards more interactive and engaging. Your app users can view and play media files directly within Adaptive Cards in Teams. Here are few benefits about media elements in Adaptive Card:

  • Enhanced engagement: Adding media elements makes the cards more effective and can capture app users attention more effectively.

  • Improved Communication: Media elements can convey information more effectively with rich posters than text alone.

  • Versatility: Media elements can be used in various scenarios, such as tutorials, announcements, or feedback requests.

You can add the media files available in OneDrive, SharePoint, YouTube, Dailymotion, or Vimeo to your Adaptive Card.

      1. Upload your media files to OneDrive or SharePoint.

      2. Get a URL using the Share, Copy link, or Copy link at current time options from OneDrive or SharePoint.

sources.mimeType Mime type of associated media, such as video/mp4. mimeType is a required field for Teams web and desktop clients.

For Teams desktop clients, Adaptive Card supports inline and full screen playback, whereas for mobile clients, the experience is limited to full screen and picture-in-picture (PiP), which allows you to watch video in floating window when you open the other apps.
