Ship local video media type with Drupal CMS for better compatibility with Canvas

Created on 12 November 2025, 8 days ago

Problem/Motivation

Slack discussion at https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C072BF486FN/p1762886130902909 and Youtube video explaining the problem at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ATEgPzcBGo

If we ship a component with

    video:
      title: Video file
      $ref: json-schema-definitions://canvas.module/video
      type: object

and the local video media type does not exist, then Canvas will load up a somewhat hacky looking file picker that doesn't work all the time. Ideally, we'd like to be able to use the media library.
