Most likely, your video is encoded by the H.265 codec, which is not supported by most browsers, including Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

What should I do now? #

At the moment, the only option is to convert the video to the H.264 codec and upload it again into a page.
You can do this through this online service – https://anyconv.com/h265-to-h264-converter/
You can also use the Freemake desktop converter – hhttps://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter/

How to make shadow effect for images or videos

In Nimbus Note, you can highlight not only text, but also pictures and video. This is possible with the help of Shadow effect. Just click on the picture or video menu, and in the Style menu activate the Shadow option.

If you don’t want to change the settings one by one, then turn on the Motion mode and you will have a zingy video in one click. It looks great on the landing page and in the knowledge base.

Option control is available through the video menu – Video parameters.
