However, when I load the same post with the attached video in Safari 26.1—whether on my Mac running macOS 26 or on my iPhone running iOS 26.1—the video cannot be played.

Expected Behavior

Videos that also work in Safari, at least when they’re in the MPEG-4 H.264 format that Safari handles without any trouble.
