Add Multimedia & Video as post image

can you show me a link to a theme where the “featured image” is a video?
I tested this a while ago : https://wordpress.org/plugins/featured-video-plus/
– alltought it is an older plugin it works on WP 5.3 and it seems to be o.k.
– but on GDPR ( DSGVO ) Reasons it is no good advice to use for that youtube or vimeo etc. hoster. ( with borlabs cookie it is ok )
– with sound – it does not stop the video when it is out of view ( f.e. post slider )

see here: https://webers-testseite.de/portfolio-item/pirol-hifi/ and look to the bottom for “Projekte” the post slider.

where is the video?

Edit : ok i had to press the load-more button.
That video is a selfhosted one – you can try the plugin above – see my test page with the post-slider on the bottom

And of course – if you have declared the post as video type post. the first found video in this post will be taken on some enfold pages as featured image above – like in : https://kriesi.at/themes/enfold-2017/blog/blog-multi-author/

give that little plugin a chance.
you can embed even youtube or vimeo videos as “featured image” but think of GDPR.
big advantage of self-hosted video – if you start one in the preview – the other stops playing

see : https://webers-testseite.de/category/allgemein/
The only thing is then to get rid of “featured-image” link to the single post. That can be done by functions.php entry.

Edit : on GDPR Reasons i get rid of youtube video now.
