What format are these videos? “No video with supported format and MIME type found.” in Firefox; just the .gif with no message in Safari.

They’re embedded from Loom. The video in this topic isn’t playing for me either (latest Chrome on Ubuntu.) Maybe rebaking the post would fix it. There was a change recently to how Discourse handles Loom embeds: Loom Embedded videos not playing/loading (it was working fine before) - #46 by Lilly.
