 Hi there đź‘‹

 I’ve tested this issue on the latest **WordPress 6.8.3** with the
 **Classic Editor plugin (v1.6.3)** and can confirm that the problem still
 exists.

 When trying to insert `.webp` or `.avi` files via the “Add Media” modal in
 TinyMCE, the files are not recognized or previewed correctly.
 Meanwhile, the Block Editor supports `.webp` uploads and displays them as
 expected.

 This seems to be related to the allowed MIME types or TinyMCE’s media
 plugin configuration in the Classic Editor integration.

 Steps to reproduce:
 1. Activate the Classic Editor plugin.
 2. Go to “Posts → Add New”.
 3. Click “Add Media” and try uploading a `.webp` or `.avi` file.
 4. The file is rejected or not displayed in the editor.

 Expected:
 The Classic Editor should handle `.webp` and modern video formats similar
 to the Block Editor.

 If needed, I can help test or submit a patch for this.
