Playing Facebook shared videos

Post by Todd Goad »

I am using Windows 10 Microsoft Edge. Sometimes(most of the time) when I try to play a friends video from a post on Facebook, as long as I just hit play everything is fine, but if I try to go full screen I get a black screen with just the sound. If I switch to in private browsing or internet explorer it works fine. Does anyone have a clue as to what's going on. I sure would like to figure this out. This is the only problem I have ran in to so far with windows 10 and Microsoft edge.

I figured that was probably the case, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't a fix I missed. Thanks Wiz!!

You are probably missing a video codec that is needed for that file type to play back the video component.

How would I figure out if this is the case and, if so, what would I do to correct it.~~Thanks
