Highlighted content web part not showing videos
Found a work around. Don't filter by type=Videos. Use no filter here, just set type=All. Then under the Filter and sort section choose Managed property and find the SPContentType property. Set this to = Video.
BTW - if you use the managed property 'ContentType' it does not work, so you have to use 'SPContentType'. Not totally obvious, but hey, that's why some of us still have SharePoint as our profession. ;-) Knowing the ins and outs takes a bit of banging head against wall.
- This doesn't appear to work anymore.
- Weirdly enough, if you use the MS Stream webpart, it will show/play videos from your SharePoint library.
Hi Henning Strand,
Do you see the headframes of the video in the webpart? We are only seeing blank cards for videos.

We're not seeing any videos either - although we have our videos in Stream and then a Stream channel web part on the site with the videos.
Hi Donia Strand,
It would be great if someone from Microsoft would respond?

Hi, I have achieved this by selecting FileType as mp4, but somehow all the video file type is opened as SharePoint item not as video. The highlighted webpart doesn't provide any option to open this video in browser or any media player. I have also noticed that FileType = xltx is also behaving the same manner. I have looked at most of the option but nothing helpful found. :-)
Please refer to attached file for video settings.
