1. Is this request related to a challenge you're experiencing? Tell me about your story.

Workflows can upload videos, but agents cannot. So how is the video transmitted when an agent invokes a workflow?

2. Additional context or comments

No response

3. Can you help us with this feature?

@dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (Jan 5, 2026):

Currently, Dify workflows can upload and process video files using the /files/upload API, which supports video formats like MP4, MOV, MPEG, and WEBM. When running a workflow, you can include video files in the files field of the workflow execution payload, and the backend will handle storage, validation, and provide a signed URL for access. However, agents cannot upload videos because the agent configuration UI only allows text and number inputs—there is no UI or config option for file or video uploads in agents, even though the backend supports it. Enabling video upload for agents would require changes to the agent configuration UI and possibly some backend adjustments to expose file input types for agents. This is a known limitation with high user demand, and there are ongoing discussions about adding this feature, but it is not available yet. Workarounds like uploading a video via a workflow and then invoking it from an agent are possible, but agents themselves cannot directly transmit video data when invoking a workflow.
