Open

Description

Current Behavior

  • When receiving video content responses, Insomnia only displays raw binary data
  • No option to preview video content directly in the application

Expected Behavior

  • Ability to preview video content directly within Insomnia, similar to Postman's implementation
  • Video player with basic controls (play, pause, timeline) in the response preview panel

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Send a GET request to a video endpoint
  2. Receive 200 OK response with video content
  3. Check response preview

Example Request

  • Method: GET
  • Endpoint: /download/url
  • Response: Video content (Content-Type: video/*)
  • Status: 200 OK
  • Size: 3.9 MB

Additional Context

  • Postman currently supports this feature, allowing direct video preview

Image

  • This functionality would improve the developer experience when working with video-related APIs
  • Screenshot comparison between Postman (with video preview) and Insomnia (showing binary data) attached
