Local Video

You can embed a local video file into your course. This should be used VERY sparingly.

The video is automatically displayed at the top of the lesson because it is defined in the frontmatter.

like this:

video:
  local:
    path: /videos/courses/_gitnrw-showcase/20250531-beaver.mp4
    poster: /images/courses/man.png

The path must point to a video file in your repository’s static/videos directory. Use the relative path starting with /videos/.
