Hi there, When I try to play any .mp4 file on forum it works fine just if I am using Safari, but it doesn’t work if I am using Google Chrome. Can someone take a look and do a test as well? Here you have an example: Early Access to Electromagnetic Simulation - News & Announcements - SimScale CAE Fo…

I was able to download it and then play it in Chrome (so it’s not obviously a codec issue), but I was unable to upload it to test it on my own site. It just froze at uploading 100%. It could be that something about that file is incompatible with the embedded player.
