Video streaming on Zoho Creator
I used the video upload field in my form for my public users. Upon recording and uploading their video, I am able to view the videos in my apps. The issue I am currently facing is that the playback of the video is very slow. Every few secs, the playback video would pause and a circular image would appear suggesting that the video is still being downloaded. My video file is only 1 min long and is about 20MB. My connection to the internet at the point of testing is around 32Mbps (download speed).

Access To One Drive (Business / Sharepoint) Inside All Zoho Products
A vast number of businesses are switching to Office 365 with Sharepoint and Onedrive included. At the moment getting documents in and out of Zoho requires us to upload download via the local PC. At the moment you do have One Drive within Zoho Desk, but not Creator and it is only a personal one drive account, a business One Drive will not work.

HI can anyone suggest a way of autosaving or simulating an autosave function for a specific field in a form. The story is as follows.

Dynamically Sizing the iframe height
Hello, Overall, the Zoho Creator product is very good. Intuitive and easy to use. However, it has one deficiency that if fixed would make it a great product. The hard-coded iframe height of 500px causes issues when embedded into an existing website. It can distort the size, footer and look when embedded. Ideally, it must be seamless. I see you have attempted to alleviate this through a JavaScript code, although this removes filtering and insert/modify (Add & Edit records) capabilities. So there is
