Hi
I,ve really appreciate this new feature introduced in Opera for Android. It works well and permit me to stream videos from some websites that have a link for videos but don't have an integrated player.
For the same reason I would ask if in the next future we will see the same feature also in Opera Desktop
Are you planning to introduce this feature also in Opera desktop?

@copeppe I believe it's called HTML5 and is already support by all modern browsers since a long time.

If you, for example, drop a media file into Opera, it will starting playing as long as it has a supported format and codec.

@leocg it's different. In Opera for Android I can play videos from links that are not playable in opera desktop. In Opera desktop I can only download these video's links but opera for Android propose me also to stream these. Maybe there are some options that I don't know?

@copeppe Any examples? To a video from a link to be able to be played in Opera, the site needs to inform that the link is a video and also the file has to be a supported format (MP4, Ogg, Webm) and codec.

@leocg try to upload a video in this cloud service:

https://trainbit.com/

is needed an account (I've that). Well, when I click on video link uploaded on this cloud with opera for Android the browser ask me if I want download or stream the video. If I choose "play" I can see the video in Opera.
If I click on the same link but with Opera Desktop I can only download the video

@copeppe Any other that don't demand creating an account?

A direct link to a video would be better.
