### My video doesn't stream in the app, what's wrong?
The in-app video player's streaming capabilities are limited to MP4 files which are web-optimized (metadata is contained at the front of the file). If it's not web-optimized, the MP4 file will still play in the app, but the entire file will need to be downloaded first. AVI/WMV/MOV file formats are also not supported by the in-app player. They can be shared/downloaded but will need to be played externally.
The in-app video player's streaming capability works best with the H264/AAC format, typically in a MP4 container but others like M4V will also work. Other non-streaming video types like AVI/WMV/MOV file formats are not supported by the in-app player, but they can be shared/downloaded and will play outside of the app.
### I shared my URL, but others can't download it. What's going on?
