Bluesky videos don't work
Videos on Bluesky have never appeared for me, instead they all say "Your browser does not support the video format. Please try a different browser." This seems to happen regardless of the video source.

What is the site?
The site is bsky.app. I can see there are videos posted by people I follow but am unable to view them.
After a notice... see screenshot It works for me. https://bsky.app/profile/maxrichtermusic.bsky.social Did you try with Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-4troubleshoot-modesf5safe-modesf
I would try to forget the site and try again. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/remove-websites-address-bar-suggestions

Ah, I was incorrect to say it happens regardless of video source. Youtube works fine, I don't see youtube vids there often so I forgot they were unaffected. It must just be videos uploaded directly to Bluesky then? Example post: https://bsky.app/profile/pixelatedcrown.com/post/3lgjwpyvnsk2j I just tried troubleshooting mode but it doesn't seem to be working right? It opens to the landing page with bookmarks and news links but clicking them does nothing. Typing in the search bar and hitting enter does nothing. So I'm unable to test if videos would work within it. I forgot the site and it didn't change anything.
The link you gave requires a sign in. Just scrolling down the home page, I have no issue with any video. see screenshots https://bsky.app/ Sounds like a systems issue to me. What OS?

I usually use my Macbook, but just tried on my desktop PC and the videos work fine in Firefox. On my Macbook, the videos do not work in Firefox but do work in Safari and Chrome.
