GameMaker Studio 2 moves a lot of built-in functionality from previous versions into extensions. Whilst there were built-in functions to open video files in previous GM versions, these have been marked as Obsolete Splash Functions in GMS1 and don't even appear in GMS2's Obsolete Functions list, meaning that they have been likely definitely removed.Īs stated in the 3rd Party Support section of GMS2's Obsolete Functions:
Yes, you can play videos through GameMaker Studio 2, but you'll have to open and play the file yourself through extensions or DLLs.
