Keep videos in exported PDFs

Michael Ariel

Currently an exported PDF contains a static image in place of a video. Include the video in the exported PDF as well.

Would also be great to pick which frame from the video is used as the thumbnail.

if this is not possible, it would be great if embedded videos in the PDF export get a play button over the thumbnail and behind it is automatically a link to the youtube video

I feel bad upvoting this since it's not possible to have a video playing in a PDF, but Felix Simon's idea is!  A link to play on YT or Pitch or something would be great.
Right now I literally have to have slides that have a button next to the video to watch that I hide/unhide the presentation vs. export version... and sometimes I forget to change it back and have to mid-meeting. Here's a screenshot to see what I mean.
On an export version, that I then have to hide and unhide the next 3 slides instead when presenting. Would be nice to not have to do all that and just know that when I export, videos are handled.
