The Windows Media Player HTML5 Extension for Chrome actually allows you to play back H.264 encoded videos (aka MP4} on your web pages, via a Flash-based video player. If you are reading this article right now, the most likely reason you are here is to search for an out-of-date player that will take you to a new era of multimedia entertainment. You may be quite surprised to find out that there is actually a new player available in the market - the Windows Media Player, or simply known as Windows Media Player. This player is basically the same technology used in Windows Movie Maker. What makes this player different from the other players available in the market is the fact that it also offers other features such as the Windows Media Player Video Accelerator and Windows Media Player Easy Video Recording.

The Windows Media Player extension was initially released as a beta version to allow Windows Movie Maker users to view files like wmv, avi and all files on their Windows Movie Maker web browsers. With constant feedback and modifications done by the Chrome team, the extension has now been integrated into the default settings of the new Windows 7 operating system. What's great about this extension is that it can also play flash movies and the likes, which means you do not have to use the flash plugin installed on your web browser anymore.

So, if you are looking for a way to entertain yourself while online, you should really try downloading the latest version of Google Chrome. The Google Chrome web browser includes the latest version of the Windows Media Player extension which allows you to turn your web pages into simple and easy to follow Windows Movie Playlist presentations. Apart from this extension, Google also has made available a number of other interesting add-ons and plugins that can make your internet surfing life a lot more interesting. All you need to do is find that among these plugins can best meet your purposes.

Multimedia redirection call redirection is currently in PREVIEW.See the Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews for legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability.

This article will show you how to use multimedia redirection for Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 with Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome browsers. For more information about how multimedia redirection works, see Understanding multimedia redirection for Azure Virtual Desktop.

For multimedia redirection to work, there are two parts to install on your session hosts: the host component and the browser extension for Edge or Chrome. You install both the host component and browser extension for Edge or Chrome browsers on your session hosts from an MSI file. You can also get and install the browser extension from Microsoft Edge Add-ons or the Chrome Web Store.

To install the host component on your session hosts, you can install the MSI manually on each session host or use your enterprise deployment tool with msiexec. To install the MSI manually, you'll need to:

When opening the browser, after a short while, users will see a prompt that says New Extension added. Once the prompt appears, users should select Turn on extension. Users should also pin the extension so that they can see from the icon if multimedia redirection is connected.

If the user selects Remove extension, it will be removed from the browser and they will need to add it from Microsoft Edge Add-ons or the Chrome Web Store. To install it again, see Install the browser extension manually (optional).

Install the extension by selecting Get (for Microsoft Edge) or Add to Chrome (for Google Chrome), then at the additional prompt, select Add extension. Once the installation is finished, you'll see a confirmation message saying that you've successfully added the extension.

You can install the multimedia redirection extension using Group Policy, either centrally from your domain for session hosts that are joined to an Active Directory (AD) domain, or using the Local Group Policy Editor for each session host. This process will change depending on which browser you're using.

Once you've installed the extension, you can check its status by visiting a website with media content, such as one from the list at Websites that work with multimedia redirection, and hovering your mouse cursor over the multimedia redirection extension icon in the extension bar on the top-right corner of your browser. A message will appear and tell you about the current status, as shown in the following screenshot.

To find out what types of redirections are enabled on the webpage you're visiting, you can open up the extension menu and look for the section named Features supported on current page. If a feature is currently enabled, you'll see a green check mark next to it, as shown in the following screenshot.

Select Watch on the web instead. The Teams live event should automatically start playing in your browser. Make sure you only select Watch on the web instead, as shown in the following screenshot. If you use the native Teams app, multimedia redirection won't work.

Video playback redirection is currently limited to the sites listed in Websites that work with multimedia redirection by default. However, you can enable video playback redirection for all sites to allow you to test the feature with other websites. To enable video playback redirection for all sites:

Redirected video outlines will allow you to highlight the currently redirected video elements. When this is enabled, you will see a bright highlighted border around the video element that is being redirected. To enable redirected video outlines:

When you enable video status overlay, you'll see a short message at the top of the video player that indicates the redirection status of the current video. The message will disappear after five seconds. To enable video status overlay:

Call redirection is currently limited to the web apps listed in Websites that work with multimedia redirection by default. If you're using one of the calling apps listed in Call redirection with an internal URL, you must turn the Enable WebRTC for all sites setting to use call redirection. You can also enable call redirection for all sites to test the feature with web apps that aren't officially supported yet.

It would be nice if Edge could replace Movies & TV and Groove Music. I've done some quick testing and it already works for webm and mp4, if added support for mkv, avi, and wmv, 3rd party media players would become obsolete.

@cbomtempo Both extensions that you suggested have less than 1 Mb in size, so I don't think it can be considered bloat. Even more when it could be a selling point for Edge. A built-in media player with extra functions like AI generated subtitles for when you're listening to podcasts or watching a video in another language + automatic translation for your language using Bing would be a big selling point, and it would also give lots of data to improve MS AI.
