Better display of videos on mobile browsers

N Unclear proposal

Problem: Currently it's not possible to play directly a video on a wikipedia page using a mobile browser. Another page will be opened.
Who would benefit: all the users viewing wikipedia pages using mobile browsers
Proposed solution: video shoud be played smoothly in the same page.
More comments: Video is becoming the main source of information for many peoples (especially the new generation) and currently Wikipedia is relying too much on text and photos but in the same time even if we add video content it's not very well managed and displayed.

Yamen (talk) Thanks for submitting this proposal! We have conducted some basic tests, and we're seeing that the video does play on mobile, according to our tests. Can you provide us more details, so we can try to reproduce the issue? What browser and operating system are you using? And do you have a video in particular we can check out? Thanks! --IFried (WMF) (talk) 20:47, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Since we have not heard back from you, I'm going to archive this proposal. Thanks for participating in the survey, MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 17:11, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
