Hi all,

 

I use video in my projects. Today I noticed no videos play in any prototype so I did some troubleshooting. Here’s what I managed to find:

 

Issue

Prototype does not play video in Figma app or Chrome but does play in Firefox.

How to reproduce issue

I’m using a 1.8mb video (1920x1080 MP4 xh265) in one frame in a new figma file.

Actions taken to remedy issue which did not work

  • Deleted APPDATA DesktopProfile cache.
  • Updated NVidia Driver to latest video driver.
  • Uninstalled NVidia and clean uninstall of video driver.
  • Checked for latest version of Figma
  • Restarted computer numerous times.
  • Reduced size of video file.

 

Hope someone can help me with this one!
