    Hey I am wondering if this plugin can be used to embed a video into the Dashboard area?

    Use case.
    I have made a video tutorial for a client and I am looking for an easy place for the customer to find the video. Adding it to the Dashboard seems like the best place. So I need to have the video visible in the Dashboard so the user can play it there.

    Is this possible?

    Hi, Is this dashboard on the front end?

    I am thinking the dashboard area in the backend. The one that contains the welcome screen. Widgets area. Similar to this plugin only more updated: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/video-dashboard/

    Thanks. The scripts are not loaded in the backend. So the shortcode will just load a plain player. Alternatively, you can try the mediaelement template which works.

    The shortcode will need to be manually filtered from your template file. WordPress will not do this automatically. For example:

    echo do_shortcode('[evp_embed_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" template="mediaelement"]');

    Thank you for coming up with a solution Noor!
    I really just want a simple solution that I can use. This seems a bit more complex than I had hoped for. Have a great day!
