Video content in IE11

[Sheridan]

I've had the old problem of videos not playing in IE11 since Windows 7 - never got around it to be honest and Chrome works OK. Testing in our trial W10 suite has also shown that the videos don't work in IE11 on W10 either!

 

Its getting rather frustrating now as a lot of people default to IE - Edge seems to work (oh the irony!) and Chrome still works but ideally I'd like the default browser to work properly. I've checked all of the policies and preferences and everything is enabled or set to prompt (the usual stuff like Enable alternative codecs, Play animation in webpages etc).

 

Its not a filtering issue or policy issue as far as I can see as it affects all staff, students and administrators. Has anyone else had these sort of problems with IE11 in W10 and found a solution? We still can't use Gmail in this room as that still pops up with 'Invalid Request'

 

At this rate I'll have to remove IE11 completely!

I think this would be the best solution for everyone especially considering that Chrome and Edge work perfectly fine. IE11 is just awful.

Problem is, people still use it - and it should work! People here just think I'm making excuses when I say 'try it in Chrome'!

You have to eliminate group policy/prefs from being a factor if it works in chrome/edge and not IE.

 

If you can move your test machine off domain and reset the IE settings back to default and it works you know you're probably looking GP. If it doesn't there might be something installed that breaks it but
