Using Lua to create a Tool for video

I am in a Lua class, and I have to make a tool for a project,

I was thinking I could create something that would call a video file in a Unreal game and play it...

Is this possible? and if so how?

I've made a few maps with unreal in other classes but never was able to get the Unreal script that plays videos to work.

It's not possible to play a video directly (not supported), but if you really want to, you could make an animation and play the audio track in the background.
If you wish to do something more creative, try out Löve 2D game engine: https://love2d.org/

Now, I am just learning Lua, but if Unreal can play Videos why could a Lua script just call the Video play functions of Unreal and just trigger the correct Video file?
