For displaying large numbers of videos, you can try the Highlighted Content web part. I have also used the Gallery View of a document library. The other features you mention are part of what will need to happen before Stream can be decommissioned as a content repository. Think of Stream as providing these capabilities for the content hosted in SharePoint.

SusanHanley Hi Susan! Just to clarify, managing multiple videos by saving them to SharePoint since our company emphasizes cloud-storage only. I am only trying to embed one of the many videos already stored in a document library with video content types.
Ideal Scenario----
Videos stored in their current location, as is, can be embeded on a SharePoint page with the ability to change thumbnail, auto-start, loop, etc.
Current Scenario----
Copying the embed code provided returns an error. Video content types are not behaving as they were before, nor as expected.
- SusanHanleyOct 15, 2021MVPToday, you can use the File Viewer web part to add a video stored in SharePoint Online to a page - but you cannot currently change the thumbnail or specify when to start playing. I suspect that functionality will be added as part of the transition from classic Stream. (I am assuming you are using SharePoint Online, which is cloud storage.)
For videos stored in other locations, you can use the embed code for the video and the Embed web part. I have not had any issues embedding video from Vimeo using the embed code or YouTube using the YouTube web part. The only thing I can think of is that you might want to add the website where your videos are stored to the HTML Field Security setting in Site Collection Admin Settings. Hope this helps!- monkeyclumpsOct 15, 2021Copper Contributorok. anyone have any ideas/suggestions regarding the original issue/question? how to make it so that the error message doesn't show up when a sharing link is clicked for a video?
