Although being able to implement one video works with the video block, it would be good to have a web component which allows you to showcase one 'main' video with a carousel of smaller videos alongside which allows the user to view more videos on the same subject.
When selected from the carousel, this would switch to the main video (slightly larger).
Similar to how the YouTube playlist works.
This way, you can show a collection of videos on the same subject in one component instead of adding multiple video blocks.

What is the business process you are trying to achieve?
We would like the ability to showcase more than one video as a collection in a branded component without adding multiple video blocks. |
Thanks Steve, that's super!
Thanks for the clarification Amber.
Whilst we don't have immediate plans to add new content block types, we are always looking for ways to continue to assist our customers in delivering engaging content, so this is worthy of further consideration.
I'll discuss with our team at an upcoming roadmap planning session, and report back as appropriate.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for taking a look into this.
From the examples provided, I'm thinking more along the lines of option 2 with the ability to scroll through the list of videos on the side of the main video. And yes, ideally the main video would be to the left with the scroll through additional videos to the right.
Option 2 would be very similar to what we have on our main external site which works for us and covers the acceptance criteria of this component.
Thanks for taking the time to submit this suggestion Amber.
To ensure that I correctly understand the idea, can I confirm that what you are proposing is something similar to one of the layouts below:
Alternate videos presented below:
2. Alternate videos presented to the side
(probably to the right rather than the left).
These examples are just images, but pretending that they are videos, is this the kind of layout you had in mind?
As an aside, it is worth noting that our existing carousel functionality does support the inclusion of videos, although that doesn't quite achieve the outcome you are suggesting here.
