Is HEVC supported?

I'm on v137 on Windows 10.

I cannot play my Unifi camera videos because they require HEVC. I thought v134 and higher had HEVC support?

There were some mentions of needing to get the HEVC codec from the Windows Store, but I could also not locate that from Microsoft either.

Under about:support, it says HEVC is Unsupported. What am I missing?

Yes, go to about:config and check media.hevc.enabled.

As it was mentioned earlier, you have to install the hevc codec from the Microsoft Store.

Not this one. Something like this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/hevc-video-extensions-from-device-manufacturer/9n4wgh0z6vhq
