Video (mp4) file inserted into Word document on Mac recognized as picture on PC

For unknown reasons, I'm unable to play an mp4 video on a PC when the video was inserted to a Word file on a Mac.  The PC converts the video to a Picture file.  Anybody know what's up? 

 

Thanks!  🙂

    On Mac, inserting a video might be added as a linked or embedded object, but on PC, Word may interpret it as a static picture if the media type isn't properly embedded or supported.
