 I’ve checked the documentation, but it doesn’t mention supported video
 formats. I thought they would all work the same way.

 On my site, a client uploaded a video in **.avi** format and it doesn’t
 work. I was very surprised that WP core allows uploading any format
 without filtering them. This wasn't even in the ** Media Library** (which
 would make sense), but in the Video Block.
