    It is not covered. You can use a Placeholder and embed as an object but you need to also handle browsers that don't understand webm.

    Thanks, I will check on support and how many browsers do not support it. I just read a huge article on google about it and how for SEO using webm vs traditional files google will love you and move u much closer to 1st page lmao. But it does not look too popular widespread yet...

    I simply convert webm or any other video formats to standard mp4. Lots of free converters (e.g. https://convert-video-online.com/).

    I agree but from what I read a few days ago Google is in love with webm and it is much quicker and compressed than mp4 and am trying to ink out as much good SEO as I can. Does not seem very widespread in use, and thus I figure I could gain a small advantage by using it but I had no idea some browsers still do not support it - so I may just do as you do and go back to mp4's lol

    Hi DrTech. I just used convertio.co to convert the MP4 video I created from your Flash swf to an WebM video. Interesting reduction re the filesize:

    I know it's not a lot, but as stated my main focus was to be more seo friendly. Google seems to take a liking to webm vs others for some reason.
