The converted mp4 file is not playable on chrome, it can be download only. How can i play mp4 file on chrome? @muaz-khan please help.

I've faced the same issue and the reason seems to be that the created mp4 file is using an h263 encoder, which is not supported by most of the browsers. Browsers require for example an h264 / AV1 codec.
