We're all waiting for this for a years. There was a lot of topics and posts with suggestions of this since first IPS 4.0.0 pre-alpha. Some of them are dead with alpha-testing forums, but on this forums also a lot of them.

Video element, Audio element, mp3, opus, aac, wav, MPEG-4/H.264 are supported in all modern browsers.

So could you say can we expect such useful and needed feature in near future?

 

This should be available in a community forum.

+1 for a native solution in IP.Forums & IP.Downloads to optionally play/stream directly

The following files are afaik not for embeds, but maybe you can contact these authors for custom solutions or feature enhancements:

 

+1 Need!! 

please start / continue implementing important features the community asks for for ages.

Anyone want to be a beta tester? Send a PM if so.

The above plugin is currently being beta-tested by @FGN (thanks!!) and based on feedback so far, it's good to go. I've just got a few bug fixes to put in place, with some code clean-up to do, and then it will be on the Marketplace tomorrow sometime.

Note: initial release will be for forum only. I'll extend that to Pages, if possible, but other applications will need further work as I don't currently use them myself.

For those who would like something sooner rather than later....

 

This should not require a paid plugin. At the very least I'd like to see a yes or no from IPS. One of those original topics is mine. From 2011!

 

That said, what I will pay for is a plugin that allows easy recording, uploading and embedding. 

It should not require plugin at all, not matter paid or not, it should be available in IPS itself by default. It's a huge disadvantage to have no such useful feature in 2017. And to be honest even in 2011.

And another one the same suggestion within a week in Feedback & Ideas section:

So clients really need this implemented by default in IPS.
