WebM only plays reliably in web browsers. MP4 plays on phones, tablets, smart TVs, game consoles, car infotainment systems, Chromecast, Roku, Apple TV, and all media players. If you need to play a video outside a browser, MP4 is the answer.
Most video editors (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, iMovie, CapCut) handle MP4 natively but may need plugins for WebM. Converting to MP4 before editing avoids import errors.
YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, Facebook, and LinkedIn all accept MP4. WebM has limited support on social platforms.
