Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available is an error that can occasionally appear, most often in Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. The error is usually temporary and easy to resolve. Here are the steps you can take to fix this error.

1: Refresh the Page

Often this error can be resolved by pressing F5 or the refresh button. We've probably done this hundred of times over the years.

2: Refresh Your Browser and Clear Temporary Files

Similarly, you might close and restart your web browser. Cleaning temporary files is another possibility. Most people have a favorite drive cleaner, including CCleaner, Privazer, or Wise Disk Cleaner, or you can use the built-in Storage Sense on Windows 10.



3: Remove or Disable Addons and Extensions

If you've recently added any Addons or extensions, you might consider removing or disabling them. Any addon from security to multimedia could cause conflicts, especially any that deal with Flash or HTML5. You can quickly test this by starting your browser in Safe Mode.

Google Chrome: In a new tab, click on the hamburger icon and select New Incognito Window. You can also click on More Tools > Extensions and disable any extensions if you only have a few.
Firefox: Click on Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled.

4: Uninstall Flash

If you don't have any programs that use Flash, it is now built into most browsers and can be uninstalled. Check Settings > Apps and see if Flash is installed.

Hopefully, we resolved the issue. There are other guides out there that recommend trying a different browser or resetting your browser. These steps are rarely needed to solve this problem. Finally, there is mention of typing in about:config in Firefox and then typing in media.mediasource.enabled and verifying that the Value is True. If all else fails, these steps may work.
