yes, I was using webm. but converting all files takes a lot of time—a lof of my videos are in mp4.

I’m now solving this using platform conditional template: [[Suggestion] Add {{#OnDesktop}}{{/OnDesktop}} - #4 by kleinerpirat](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/suggestion-add-ondesktop-ondesktop/20544/4)

use sound in ankidestop and video tag in ankidroid.

sound doesn’t have a preview, but it’s not a big deal.
