What about to allow to add a YouTube link & just embed it? YouTube also allows to upload private (not listed videos). Also u don’t need to struggle with the hosting. TBH with all the YouTube cooking tutorials/videos etc. it would be really nice to link a YouTube video to a recipe & watch it inside the app embedded

What are the benefits of clicking "Video" on the recipe page as it currently stands and watching the video in a picture-in-picture style? As far as I know, Apple is quite strict about embedding third-party web content that I cannot control.

Hi Alla Horodnycha, I'm not planning to add a video upload feature as this comes with a lot of technical complexity and not many would use this feature I think.
Feel free to upload videos to Google Drive or any provider and save the recipe with the link to access it from within Mr. Cook. I hope this helps.
Sorry about that, but I try to triage what features I prioretize working on.
