Hello firebase team,

I am trying to find a way to stream a video file on firebase storage (something like youtube) for my android app. Now searching through the answers of questions that asked if this is possible with firebase like this one, I noticed that it is not possible to stream with firebase.

Any way some answers stated that you can get a URI from the URL and pass it to a simple video view and it will stream. (people tried it and it is possible).

Now until here this is confusing, because some say it is possible when firebase says it is not.

MY QUESTION:

Is it possible to stream a video file on firebase storage or no?

Is it possible to use Exoplayer for this?

Thanks firebase team for all your efforts.
