Does Gitbook Support MP4 files?

GitBook does support uploading MP4 files up to 100MB, but they do not automatically embed as videos — they will simply appear as links that users can click to open or download the video file.

How to embed video/MP4 files in GitBook

You can embed videos by uploading them to a publicly accessible platform, such as Google Drive or YouTube, and then copying and pasting the link into GitBook.

GitBook can only embed URLs that are publicly accessible. Private URLs will not display on your page.

It is technically possible to upload a video to GitBook and then embed that video on a page via its URL. However, this is not officially supported and is very inefficient for end-users who view the videos. The slower page load can also impact your SEO ranking.
