Playback of .webm files
If you are having an issue opening a .webm file, you may need to change the file
association so that it can be played on the Google Chrome browser or Microsoft Edge
browser:
-
To change the file association, right click the file and select Open with.
- If Google Chrome is displayed, select the Chrome app from the list to play the .webm file using your Chrome browser.
- If Microsoft Edge is displayed, select the Edge app from the list to play the .webm file using your Edge browser.
- If neither Chrome nor Edge is listed, select Choose another app.
- When prompted How do you want to open this file?, select Look for another app on this pc.
-
On the Open With dialog, enter the absolute path to the
Chrome or Edge executable. In most cases, these executables reside on the Start
Menu programs for a Windows computer.
For example:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
- Select Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge and click Open.
-
Select a .webm file attachment that you have downloaded. The video will be
played in either the Chrome or Edge browser, depending upon what was selected as
the default program for .webm files in the previous step.
