Video formats you can play on the OneDrive website – Microsoft Support

You can play most audio and video files, including mp4, Apple and QuickTime movie files directly from the OneDrive website , Sharepoint, Microsoft Teams, Steam, Yammer, and all across Microsoft 365.

Supported audio and video formats in OneDrive

The following audio/video files can be played directly from your OneDrive in most browsers: 3G2, 3GP, 3GPP, ASF, AVI, M2TS, M4A, M4V, MKV, MOV, MP3, MP4, MP4V, MTS, TS, WAV, WEBM, WMA, WMV

Tips: For the best video playback experience, we recommend the following video encoding settings: 

  • Video: H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC, 1080p, 30 fps, suggested bitrate under 2 Mbps

  • Audio: AAC, 192 Kbps

  • Container: MP4

If you have videos in a different format, you can still upload them to OneDrive, but they might not play directly in a browser. To view them on a mobile device, you’ll need to download them first.

If a file doesn’t play, the format might be one that either OneDrive or your mobile device doesn’t support. 

Note: DRM-protected video files can’t be played on OneDrive.
