    Hello

    Using the video widget if a self hosted video is added immediately the browser shows as insecure

    https://snipboard.io/VxqIro.jpg

    I don’t know the cause for this. But one thing I assure is the uploaded video is recorded in mobile and it is clean.

    Video format is mp4.

    In the same widget if i stream the same video via Youtube it plays good and the https does not change to insecure.

    browser is chrome Version 112.0.5615.87 (Official Build) (64-bit) and Microsoft edge Version 112.0.1722.48 (Official build) (64-bit)

    HI @vimalwplogin I think it’s showing because your domain is not secure. So please install SSL first then it will not display unsecure video url.

    And about the youtube video to be secure because youtube domain is secure, hence all the video associated with would display secure.

    Suggestion: I would not to use self hosted video because it will slow down your website, instead use youtube or video.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    hi @alithewpdev thanks for the reply.

    I think I was not clear is describing the problem.

    The site has SSL (Let’s encrypt) installed and it is secured. And in the domain all the connections to the site is forced to use https

    The insecure notification in the browser shows up only in the page self-hosted video added. Remaining all the other pages are shown as secure with lock symbol in green.

    If the self hosted video is removed and refreshed the insecure notification goes away and it shows as secure.

    in the above link one self hosted video is added and for that page alone insecure notification would show up in browser.
    Below is the information seen when insecure notification is clicked and expanded

    “This site has a valid certificate, issued by a trusted authority.

    However, some parts of the site are not secure. This means information (such as passwords or credit cards) might not be securely sent to this site and may be intercepted or seen by others.”

    Thanks in advance,
    Want to is this the problem in the widget/ website/SSL

    @vimalwplogin From the URL, it seems the video url is not secure. This is the only issue converting your page to unsecure.

    You can test this by adding the following code to your html widget and removing the existing self-hosted video widget.

    <video width="400" controls>
      <source src="https://vedaagamaheritagetrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Inaugural_function-Video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    </video>

    Hello @alithewpdev

    Thank you for providing the information.

    From your statement I was able to identify the cause for this issue.

    WordPress address URL and Site URL was starting with http instead of https.

    After changing this http to https it worked fine.

    Thank you for the support
