Hi! The easiest way is to upload the video to file storage https://docs.convex.dev/file-storage (if it's one file you can upload it in the convex dashboard). you can use
ctx.storage.getUrl to get a url that should work in a video tag. The url already supports Range headers for streaming and buffering.File Storage | Convex Developer Hub
Store and serve files of any type.
