Questions

Hi, is there any possibility to create either a custom nodes or maybe there is already existing one so I could see interactive content as a node output? For example video stream or iframe?

For interactive UIs with real-time video or HTML, n8n is not the ideal tool as a viewer, but it is ideal as an automation backend, generating and distributing URLs, states, or links that can be displayed in other interfaces.

For what you mention, you can use, for example:

  1. Video streaming: Use a service like Mux, YouTube Live, or Jitsi, and have n8n return the embeddable link.
  2. Dashboard iframe: Generate a display URL (e.g., a Supabase, Grafana, etc. dashboard) and pass it as JSON or a message.
  3. Preview in messaging apps: Use bots (Telegram, Slack) that accept cards enriched with previews.
