Hi there!

I have an issue with playback of a webm video in the Firefox version.
When I drag and drop the webm file into the browser window it plays. However, when I upload it to WordPress and select it as background video in the Swift Slider there is no playback with in Firefox.

Or does webm playback only work when streaming the video from another URL (like AWS S3)?

Any suggestions what might go wrong?

Just found a solution myself!

Playback of webm videos works when uploading it them our Amazon Web Services S3 account.
That is, if you don’t forget to change permissions for the video file in AWS to “open/downlod==everyone”.

Would be great though to just upload the webm file to WordPress and have it played back properly in Firefox, though. Maybe you guys could have a look into this occasionally.

Ok great! Glad you found a solution. I’m afraid we cannot control what browsers support what file types
