"Video From URL" unavailable from the ID2020 Media panel menu

Question

Hello,

Reading the help page it looks like Video from URL is no longer an option in the Media panel. Is there another way I can place a video from a URL? Or do I have to edit the HTML output from In5?

That's awful! I have no idea why they've done this.

You can vote to restore it here:

I'll see if there's a way for in5 to make it work in the meantime.

The ID team is working on adding this back.

Hi, I see that Adobe hasn't fixed this issue yet--I was just wondering if a workaround exists yet. I can download an older version of InDesign, but which version number should I use?

You can use CC 2019 for now. There should be a fix on its way.
