    Hi @Jayashri Thorat ,

    Microsoft Silverlight is no longer supported on Chrome version 45 or a later version of Chrome.

    Try to use the browser supported Microsoft Silverlight or use Embed web part(Which works on modern page) to display mp4 file on your SharePoint page:

    ---------------------------------------Update-------------------------------------------

    From your description, you are using the classic page of SharePoint online, please refer to the simple test with content editor web part for your reference:

    1) I upload the SampleVideo to the SiteAssets library.

    2) Edit the content source like this, remember to change the site name for yourself:

    3)Result in chrome browser:
