Can WordPress play .webm files?

Why do I ask? Well yesterday, Moot posted a blog post that states 4chan now supports .webm files (without audio). It seems the community as a whole is embracing the new (at least for the image board) format. This format will pretty much replace .gif, granted there will be people who will still use animated gifs.

Since I messed up my sleep schedule, I decided to see if WordPress does support this format. And the answer is…

YES!

Getting the file to auto loop like an animated gif is pretty simple as I only need to add  loop=”true” to the video tag.

Here are some examples:

I sure hope they explain the reason for all of this in episode 2.
