What can be used for product videos

I'm selling an older midi controller from a line that's evolved into a very minimal design.

Videos links ARE permitted. There has been confusion about this for years now. But the Policy page is correct. If you follow the rules laid out there, you'll be fine. You cannot have a video that actually OPENS in your listing page. You can have a clickable thumbnail link that opens in a new page. Here's an example of a permitted clickable thumbnail link:
