There should indeed be a video preview effect that shows up in that space. And while it's loading, there should be a progress spinner in its place to show you that something's happening. I see that in the KCM on my machine (built from source on top of openSUSE Tumbleweed). I gather that's not what you're seeing. Do you recall it ever working, or is this a regression in Plasma 5.20? I don't know if it has worked before, as I figured out that items can be expanded already in the Plasma 5.20. Just checked that openSUSE Tumbleweed shows a play button in that place (ffmpeg is not installed) but Neon shows nothing. Same on live image. Huh. Taking a look at the code, if you don't see the loading indicator at all, that means that the video isn't loading. I wonder if this is a neon packaging bug then. Can you see if you can file the video/multimedia related package in Neon that makes this feature work by installing it? Installing package "gstreamer1.0-plugins-good" fixes the issue for me Excellent. Thanks so much. Looks like it has been fixed for now.

Created attachment 132359 [details] Desktop Effects SUMMARY Some effects in "Workspace Behavior" > "Desktop Effects" section of "System Settings" have a "Show/Hide Video" button, that appears on mouse hover. When you click this button, the effect expands/collapses. So, the expanded effect has a huge height, while it doesn't contain any additional content (I guess there should be a video with a preview of the effect). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open "System Settings" 2. Go to "Workspace Behavior" > "Desktop Effects" 3. Hover over any effect (e.g. "Looking Glass"); a "Show/Hide Video" button appears 4. Click this button SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.20 User Edition / X11 KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0 Qt Version: 5.15.0
