Dude... this is awesome. I've been trying to open up some tutorial videos for work but the only player we have installed in our work computers at the office is Windows media player. Using chrome has made it possible to play videos that are not supported by Windows media player.

Thank you a lot!. Videos offline like mp4 I recorded or downloaded don't have subtitles. So while uploading on the google chrome, it displays subtitles. That is great for me. Google Chrome has come with accessibility to English subtitles.

well. . . not really.
my chrome is updated today. but drag and dropping video file into chrome does not play the video.
it asks me to SAVE the file into a download folder. that's it. it does not play video or music files.

Thanks for this. The cast file option disappeared with the latest Chrome update but this does the trick.

such a life saver, I was really panicking because when I upload my video on gdrive in google meet, the video is processing meaning I cant play it yet. this video is a life saver, thanks!

Thanks for the video. Seems that Chrome has changed something. I receive voicemail attachments in gmail (mp3) and I used to be able to just click and they would play. Now they are being forced to download. Once downloaded I can open in Chrome and it will play no problem. Is there a setting to change this that you know of?

Thank you so much! Exactly what I was looking for!!

Thanks! When I try to drag and drop .mp4 video file, chrome only playing its "Audio" not video though :(

[dauniestream]

omg thank you~
I don't have that much space in google drive and I wanted to see if there's another way to watch the video and it worked.

[nikitamallick]

when i drag it to chrome instead of playing it starts to download the video again why?? and how can i solve this issue please reply

[mayurcharniya]

it doesn't work with latest Chrome, update your video

[DarwaishReboot]

i start downloading when i drag and drop to google

[waidi]

There is easier way to do it, right click on the video/sound file, then "open in program.." and choose "other", there u choose Chrome and "set as default". Then whenever you'll open a mp3/mp4 file, it'll open in chrome.

But there is one problem that even i can't figure out. Some videos just have the sound in chrome, and some videos in chrome are played without sound. It's bad when i want to watch a movie with my online friend, and the sound can't be shared from other than chrome tab, but the video just doesn't have sound in there.
