MP4 is one of the popular digital multimedia formats. Fortunately, the Google WebM Project Team released plugins for Internet Explorer and Safari in 2011 to allow WebM files' playback through the standard HTML5 video tag. However, some programs like Quicktime and browsers like Internet Explorer and Safari do not have native WebM support.

It provides open video compression for HTML5 videos, and most major web browsers support WebM as a part of HTML5 video delivery. The video element of the file is encoded using VP8 video codec, and the audio component of the file is encoded using the Vorbis audio codec. Back in 2001, using Rockchip, a full hardware implementation of 1080p VO8 encoding was made possible. When it comes to the Android, support a version of 2.3 (Gingerbread) and above, allowing playback of WEBM format can be used for encoding and decoding. 🔵 Encoding and decoding in open-source WEBM video format are possible while using the ffvp8 software or libvpx from the Google support.

By using the HTML5 version of YouTube, one can watch videos encoded in WEBM. It is a freeware offering streaming of online video content. 🔵 Like the MKV file extension, the WEBM royalty-free extension is developed by various online parties such as Google.
