is it possible to get my recap video to show in the preview to allow user to play it natively in other platforms? (its hosted in wistia)

To your first question: No, not at this time because recaps are only sent as reply messages. If you sync the message to the companion site it will be as a Comment not as a Post. Only posts will appear in Feeds. I've created a ticket for us to allow customization of where/how the recap automation happens! To the second question: Are you referring to in Slack, or on the companion site?

Stephen C. both in slack or for my companion, id like the link to show as a video instead of the orginal photo, in slack if i were to post a wistia link it would allow you to watch the video from the preview: https://alexbecker.wistia.com/medias/ohxa8d7g2j

You can use the Send Message API, though keep in mind it has some limitations today, the primary one being it doesn't support taking Slack blocks as an input only text.

Is that not the link you used as the event recap URL?

Yes, we do have much easier plans for this feature, including from within Slack. Although I cannot promise that in the short term roadmap. re:recap video Are you saying your recap video link showed up as a photo rather than a playable video?

Ok I think I'm understanding the recap problem. What exactly is the link you're using to share on socials?
