Please allow app developers to include video presentations on the app store pages of their apps.

The text description and the screenshots that can be added currently are useful but in many cases they are not sufficient. People today are very visual and they would like to see a video presentation of the app, so that they can see the app in action and get an idea about its general look and its main features, before they decide if it fits their needs. The video presentation could be a youtube, vimeo, dailymotion, odysee, etc. video embeded on the page using an iframe, like a video presentation on a WordPress plugin page.

The appinfo/info.xml file contains many useful tags, like <author></author>, <description></description>, <screenshot></screenshot>, etc., but no <video></video> tags.

Please, consider adding the <video></video> tag to info.xml, so that app authors can add short video presentations to their apps. If you think it's necessary you can even restrict the source of the iframe video to some specific video platforms, restrict the duration of the video, etc.
