Error: Embed .mov file via ‘Add Media’ not working
The default supported video formats are:
1 | mp4, m4v, webm, ogv, wmv, flv |
This code adds the Embed Media Player support for the QuickTime video files.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | /** * Add support for the QuickTime (.mov) video format. */add_filter( 'wp_video_extensions', function( $exts ) { $exts[] = 'mov'; return $exts; }); |
Suggestion:
.mov is not a web-friendly video format – very proprietary, very large files, and not compressed.
Best to convert it into a .mp4 file and then you can embed it natively into WordPress without the need for any additional plugins.
