This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The issue here is that the user's custom video fields are not displaying on the frontend with the embedded video player, rather they are just displaying the URL.
Solution:
In this Users case I saw that their video format was .MOV which is not one of the formats that the wordpress embedded player supports.
To get a list of the supported video formats you can see the link below.

Hi Shane,
I create a custom post type, in which I create several custom fields with one of it is video. Then, I create a form with these custom fields and insert the form into a wordpress page for website member to insert data and upload video. I then create views and archive used in wordpress pages, by using toolset block editor, to display these custom fields.
Fir the video custom field, I select [fields and texts] button in toolset block editor when creating the views and archive.
After all of above, when the custom fields displayed on screen, the video field shows a URL link (or file name) instead of a video on my computer screen.
My testing website is in Chinese. I attached a screen shot of a WordPress page which includes a member inputted toolset form. From the attached screen shot, you may find the button right corner shows the URL link of the uploaded video, while the button left shows my uploaded pictures.
Please note that, when I (website member) uploaded the video in the form, I select a mov video saved in my iPad.
Hi Shane,
Here I will attach the screen shots of the video custom field, and the steps that I use to insert it into a view (or archive) using block editor.
