So this is awkward… I’ve tested a bunch of browsers (well, 2) and:

Safari: works with no problems.

Desktop Edge: the video launches/project loads fine, but I cannot for the life of me find that 3 dots button in the player which I used to activate subtitles on Safari, so subtitles are missing. Or rather hidden. The only 2 buttons are Picture in Picture and Enchance at the top of the player window!

MOBILE Edge: won’t even LOAD the video/project page! White screen is all I get.

Sooo… 1/3 of a success? 😂 But no… if it doesn’t work EVERYWHERE, then I need to admit defeat 😭

If it helps, I tried to launch your project from my smartphone and it works (mobile Google Chrome)!

I think it is a browser compatibility issue. Technically, you can try to make the video play in all browsers, but it's actually more of a technical work, not the localization, and it could be challenging.

Eh… I guess in its current state it’s fine. Besides… don’t people watch videos MOSTLY on mobile devices anyway these days? If my project is fully operational on mobile devices… good enough for my first audiovisual translation 😊 Buuut… just out of curiosity: what exactly would I need to do to tackle these browser compatibility problems? Have also an .srt copy of subtitles ready or what…? Apparently some browsers just WON’T ACCEPT WebVTT. Only SRT. (There are also others, but these are even more niche?)Or is it a programing thing? I don’t know! Advice will be appreciated 🙂

As far as I know, it's more about coding the video player with compatibility in mind 😅
