For a couple of months I was able to get videos to work (and be responsive) in our intranet but now using the exact same process, all I get is:
"file format is unsupported ...."
Really? I'm so frustrated by everything about this rubbish service that given the choice, I would immediately cancel our 7000 licenses, but unfortunately I don't have that choice.
We're using a blog site to publish content so my process was to "insert" a video (using the ribbon tool), select the uploaded file, save the post and then open "edit source" and wrap the code in a div to make it responsive. Now when I insert a video I get the error noted above. How the **** could an mp4 file be an unsupported file type? What is going on ?

Hi Webbrewers3,
What is the .mp4 link? Give us an sample link please.

These are internal videos obviously - I'll try to find a file I can share.
This just gets worse and worse. I noticed some older videos weren't playing so I tried adding them back to a page (in a blog site).
Insert > video/audio > embed > paste in embed code provided by the item properties in the library.
Get the "this type of content is not allowed" error.
HUH? It's the embed code provided by Msft but it's "not allowed" ??? What a complete joke and waste of everyone's time this product is.
Hi Webbrewers3,
From my side, I can embed a video to blog site via the steps: Insert > video/audio > embed.
I would like to suggest you refer to this article for more detailed information about adding videos to a page. If the issue persists, could you please provide the embed code you want to insert and a screenshot about the error message?
