Hi, Ashish Gour
Welcome to Microsoft Community.
We are aware of your question about whether your browser supports the OGV format. The OGV video format is not natively supported by Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.Both Chrome and Edge browsers are based on the Chromium project, so the video formats they support are largely similar. The two browsers mainly support the following video formats:Edge browser:1.MP4 (H.264/AVC)2.WebM (VP8/VP9/AV1)3.Ogg (Theora)4.VP95. Opus6.HEVC (H.265)7.MKVChrome:1.3GP2.MP43.WebM4.TS5.FLV6.MKVNote: Since Chrome is a Google product, the specific information is still based on Google's official instructions.If you want to play videos in OGV format, you can use the following methods:Transcode to a compatible format: Convert OGV to MP4 or WebM. you can use tools such as HandBrake or FFmpeg.Using a JavaScript player: A tool like Video.js or using the WebAssembly version of FFmpeg can provide OGV support for browsers.Support through extensions: Install a browser plugin that supports the OGV format, but this may not be the optimal solution.If you need better compatibility for video playback, it is recommended to directly convert the video format to MP4 or WebM, which ensures wide compatibility of the video in modern browsers.
