mp4 not playing video in teams
Hi My daughter is on Teams for school, because of the corona lock down. The teacher put a mp4 on the group, but when i play, it wont play the video in Teams. When download, it plays in media play...
- Hi shalston
Upload the MP4 to Stream, Create a Stream Channel, add the Stream Channel as a tab in Teams. Stream is the designed app to play video in Microsoft 365, not Teams
Here is a guide I wrote some time ago how to do it. Hope it helps

ChrisHoardMVP Thanks Chris I have a lot on Stream for lessons embedded into Onenote, but it's a workaround not a solution; why is there an inbuilt non-functional mp4 player in Teams ThereseSolimeno ?
- No worries, I understand, however Stream is the video app for the whole of 365, not Teams. That is by design.
However, if you are using the Teams App on web with Chrome, I would consider using the new EDGE Chromium browser, or the Teams Desktop App. I am running Teams on a surface with EDGE and don't have any issues running mp4's through it. Let me know how it goes
