Hey there Slack team! So does this mean other video providers will be able to unfurl their own media now using the "unfurl_media" messaging? Would we be able to play Loom videos (https://www.useloom.com) in Slack? Great stuff either way!

@vhmth Hey Vinay! Thank you so much for the question! For this first release, "unfurl_media" will not work for App Unfurls, but it will continue to work as expected with our existing classic unfurl capabilities. You can read more about the difference here: https://api.slack.com/docs/messa... App Unfurls have all of the capabilities of message attachmen… See more

@salmansq just to be clear though, this means that there is still no way to have inline media plays right? I'm 100% sympathetic as to why this may be the case - just looking for a straightforward answer because I can't find it in the documentation.

@vhmth Yes that is correct. You currently cannot build apps that enable custom inline media players (or video attachments).
