I want to create a video sharing site for a spacific niche (mini-youtube kind of thing).
I have created the upload functionality successfully, and files are stored in storage/public/videos
I then created a symlink using php artisan storage:link
When I try to access the files using echo asset('storage/videos/file.mp4');
as stated at https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/filesystem
my html in the view looks like
<video controls>
<source src="{{ asset('storage/videos/file.mp4') }}" type="video/mp4">
</video>
QUESTION : What am I doing wrong or missing?
