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

What format are these videos?

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: https://meta.discourse.org/t/loom-embedded-videos-not-playing-loading-it-was-working-fine-before/297498/46?u=simon.

Hi @angus Thank you for your work. I’d like to ask if it is possible to synchronize WordPress posts to different categories.

Hello @CAX.DO, you can select the category you wish the Wordpress post to be published to when you’re composing the post in Wordpress. If you’re using the new Gutenberg composer check out the Discourse sidebar on the right.
