Answer 1

Check which browser you are using and the version to see if it supports WebM. If not you will need to add an MP4 video as well.

Can I use WebM

Answer 2

Most tablets and phones can play MP4s also. They just need to be encoded using a lower compression. I.e. If you use level 3.0 when encoding, that's usually playable.

Also, is your video inside a password protected area? If it is, include the username and password into the video URL. Like this; http://user:[email protected]/members/video.mp4
