​https://prnt.sc/vvcywo :- why not show video + css issue

[sabernhardt]

The video does not show because the .mov format lacks support.
Default supported video formats are mp4, m4v, webm, ogv, and (currently) flv.

For the Twenty Twenty-One theme (and Twenty Twenty), the link is not centered like most content because it's only the link inside the entry-content. The link has no block element to be its container, where the max-width and auto margins would apply.

Twenty Twenty: unsupported video link on attachment page

Code solutions

function custom_wp_video_extensions($types){
    $types[] = 'mov';
    return $types;
}
add_filter('wp_video_extensions','custom_wp_video_extensions');

Can we add default format list in wordpress or not?

function wp_get_video_extensions(){}

\wp-includes\media.php

wrapping unsupported video link with paragraph tag

[sabernhardt]

Interestingly, the block editor does allow embedding MOV files, and they play for me in Windows browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Edge-Chromium, IE11). So it's not consistent within WordPress.

I still recommend converting video files to MP4 rather than using the filter to allow a less-supported format on individual sites.

For the issue of how the unsupported media links display on attachment pages, I'd prefer to address the link itself instead of theme-by-theme edits (returning ticket to the Media component). Would wrapping the link in a paragraph tag be acceptable? Twenty Twenty and Twenty Twenty-One would center the paragraph (with margins, not text-align).
