Support to import a video or animated GIFs to simulate animations or even playable video.

Hello everyone! I’m excited to announce that in XD 45 (released today 10/26), you will be able to import MP4 video into your XD designs.
To ensure platform compatibility and performance across desktop, web and mobile preview, your video must be:
MP4
H.264
AAC audio
under 15 MB
4K or under resolution.
Enjoy and we can’t wait to see what you create!
XD does not support Animated GIF, so if you are still looking for that, please start a separate request and vote on it.

It's not 'feature-complete' it's 'half-finished'.
Why can we only play one video? Lazy.

Can we please have an option to play video using some sort of scroll marker? For instance when the user scrolls to 2500px, the video placed at that point on the artboard is triggered to play. Either that or some sort of 'Play When in View' option.

When setting more than one video to play automatically within an XD design, only one video plays when previewing the XD prototype. Not ideal. Can this be fixed please?

Is there a way to play multiple videos, simultaneously?

Typical Adobe, hilarious!
We know you asked over 5 years ago but here you go! But, wait, we're not done yet. We've only implemented half of what you asked.
So glad I moved to Figma.

It's clearly written "Videos AND GIFs" - not a good attitude to just say "start a separate request...."

Can't use Xd to make a great mockup, if I can't show the expected area where there would be a video background/animation - why isn't this a feature??

DEFINITELY want to be able to present prototypes that show the embedded videos. I actually can't believe it's not already a part of XD, video is such an integral part of websites today, this is kinda a no-brainer. Or even worse an are-you-kidding-me?

This would take Adobe XD from "pretty much unusable" to "OMG THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER" -- drop everything and implement; it'll bring at least some joy to my life

At this point, we need to accept that no one is reading these and no one is implementing them. If you can, you need to stop using Adobe XD

Just browsing through all these features requests - funny to notice Figma has implemented nearly all of them, and in the past 12-18 months. Seriously people - just move to Figma and save yourself the pain of waiting for simple updates.

Also the comment spam in here, geeze… -
