Notes

  • 1

    The <video> element is supported, but not the inner <source> element so no video can play.

  • 2

    <video>, <source> and <track> tags are replaced by <u></u> tags.

  • 3

    Buggy. Support depends on the version of Internet Explorer installed.

  • 4

    <video>, <source> and <track> tags are stripped. The fallback content is shown instead.

  • 5

    Partial support. Requires the controls attribute to play.

  • 6

    Partial support. autoplay is not supported.

  • 7

    The <video> element is supported and the poster image is visible, but the video can not play due to a strict Content Security Policy.
