Windows 10: Windows 11, windows media player unable to open webm files

I have been looking for a way to play my PS5 video files to play on my new Dell gaming laptop but have been unsuccessful. My old lenovo laptop played them but since I had to upgrade to windows 11, I am now unable to view them. I have even tried VideoChamp which Microsoft is pushing it as part of their bundle 365. VideoChamp states it supports webm files but fail to play my videos.

Windows Media Player 11 in June

Although we have to wait for the new Microsoft Vista OS, new version of Windows Media Player 11 will be available before the end of June. The XP version won't have all the features of its Vista successor, but the company won't say which features will be excluded. I guess we have to wait for a public test version and see what's included. With the new media player, consumers will be able to "reverse sync," meaning they can send content from a digital device to a PC. Another change is the ability to alter protected music and video files to change their quality level. With the new software, protected Windows Media files can be converted to smaller file sizes for playback on mobile devices. The biggest no go is that Windows Media Player 11 won't allow conversion of purchased Windows Media Songs into Apple iPods. So songs bought from a Windows Media store still won't play on the iPod.
