Hi! I spent a lot of time embedded videos with custom code, (as someone who has no experience with coding it was difficult for me lol) but now I’m seeing the videos are not appearing in google chrome, but appear fine on safari. I did all these steps in hopes it would play from this [article](https://www.nucleustechnologies.com/blog/fix-embedded-videos-not-playing-in-google-chrome/)  
but still nothing. I’m afraid if I send my portfolio as is and ask people to do all these steps it’ll discourage them to look at my portfolio. Should I cut my losses and just add a link instead? Some video files are over 50mb so I cant upload all
