 * Not sure why, but the ACF Field and the code output is sound, but I’m not seeing
   a video posting on the frontend.
   **ACF FIELD:****Field Type: **File**Label:**
   Hero Video**Field Name:** hero_video**Return Value:** File URL**Library: **All**
   Code in template:**
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <div class="leftvid">						<?php			$video = get_field('hero_video');			if ($video) {			$video_url = $video['url'];			echo '<video width="200" height="300" playsinline autoplay muted loop disableremoteplayback>';			echo '<source src="<?php echo $link; ?>" type="video/mp4">';			echo 'Your browser does not support the video tag.';			echo '</video>';			} ?>		</div>	
       ```
   
 * **Output Result:**
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <div class="leftvid"></div>
       ```

 * I thought of an error in my code and have updated it, but still don’t see the
   video. I’ve tried two additional methods and the video still won’t post.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <div class="leftvid">						<?php			$video = get_field('hero_video');			if ($video) {			$video_url = $video['url'];			echo '<video width="200" height="300">';			echo '<source src="<?php echo $video_url; ?>" type="video/mp4">';			echo 'Your browser does not support the video tag.';			echo '</video>';			} ?>		</div><div class="leftvid">						<?php			$video = the_field('hero_video', 'option');			if( !empty($video) ): ?>			<video>      			<source src="<?php echo $video['url'];?>" type="video/mp4">      			Your browser does not support the video tag.    		</video>			<!--<p>Your browser does not support the video tag.</p>		-->					<?php endif; ?>		</div>			
       ```

 * Hi [@toad78](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toad78/)
 * hero_video field returns a file URL only not an array. So in your code, replace:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <?php echo $video_url; ?>
       ```
   
 * with just the $video containing the file URL that is:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <?php echo $video; ?>
       ```
   
 * That should work and if it does not then reach out to support directly and they
   should help out.

 * Thank you, [@acfsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/acfsupport/). I 
   will try that and see if it fixes it. I was trying a combination of ways to post
   the URL (not noted above) and nothing would post.
 * I’ll come back to you.
