EOS R6 Mark II videos won't play on mobile

[SWlenne]

I've been making quite a lot of videos with my camera lately. However when i transfer these videos to my phone, they don't play and give the error videocodec not supported. They do play on PC. How do i get the videos to play? I have an android in case this is important.

I don't think Androids player supports the MP4 files that the R6 mark II produces, hence the "codec" error. If you use the Google Play Store, you might want to download the VLC app and give it a try, I think it is free. I've never used it on my Android devices, but I use it on my PC. The PC version has an export for use on Android (with various resolutions including HD), so that is another option.
