Hi David,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

David, this issue might occur if you have not enabled the Mozilla Plugin while installing VLC Media Player, so follow the below steps and see if this helps.

NOTE: First, uninstall VLC Media Player from your computer.

Step 1: Once you have successfully uninstalled VLC Media Player from your computer, install the latest version of
VLC Media Player.

Step 2: Run the VLC Setup and select the installation's default language, then click
Next on the Welcome screen.

Step 3: Check box the option Mozilla Plugin in
Choose Components option, which will install the VLC plugin to the Firefox Web browser. (Toggle all other options according to your needs or keep the installation's default settings)

Step 4: Click on Install and allow VLC to complete the installation process.

Step 5: Once VLC is installed on your computer, launch Firefox browser > Click on the

Windows 11 will not play embedded videos in VlC media player

Hi KymErhart,

My name is Umar. I'm an Independent Advisor, and I will be happy to help you today.

It seems like you are receiving prompts to change your media player settings to use VLC Media Player and possibly configure a VLC plugin. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

If you haven't already, download and install VLC Media Player from the official website:

Download official VLC media player for Windows - VideoLAN

Note: This is a non-Microsoft website. The page appears to be providing accurate, safe information. Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

Then, Set the VLC media player as the default app for opening video files. Go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps.

Under "Video player," select VLC media player.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best Regards,

Salfi Umar
