Hi Lafamya,
1. use the "play vc" (vc = short for videoclip) command, but this only supports VERY few video formats! Not recommended!
2. Create a "player" object (the little icon with the triangle right of the image object in the Tools palette)
This (2) requires:
a. To have the video OUTSIDE of your stack (external file)
b. QuickTime to be installed on Windows!
Hope that helps.
Best
Klaus

Yes, "player" objects work right "out of the box" on Macs
