We support links from OneDrive, but not from other vendors like YouTube or Vimeo. An error message will appear if the link is from a different source.
The OneDrive link that OneDrive provides is an HTML page with the video embedded into the page, so the link is really an embedded video link and not a link to the OneDrive video itself. To obtain that link, you need to use View Source, grab the link from there, and paste it into Theme Manager.
Even when you use the actual video link, the link may expire after a certain period of time and the video will stop working. This is a security measure with OneDrive. CivicPlus cannot control this expiration.
On all mobile devices, including iPhones, Androids, and tablets, only the video thumbnail will be displayed.
