Video support

BlackBerry Access for iOS

devices supports many video formats.

YouTube

videos aren't supported because they are served with non-compliant tags that can't be replaced or rewritten by

BlackBerry Access

. You must open

YouTube

videos in a native browser instead.

BlackBerry Access for iOS

devices support the same video formats that

Apple

does, except for the following legacy formats: M2V, 3GP, and 3GP-2.

To securely play videos on web sites, the HTML5

<video>

tag with the

<source>

element's src attribute is required at the time the page is loaded in the browser. If

BlackBerry Access

can't detect a

<video>

tag, the video playback isn't secured. The following is a sample of the tags:

<video width="320" height="240" controls>
           <source src=“test.mp4" type="video/mp4">
           <source src=“test.ogg" type="video/ogg">
           Your browser does not support the video tag.
        </video>

Web servers that serve videos must be configured for byte streaming so that

BlackBerry Access

can play them. The web server must support the HTTP header 206 Partial Content. Otherwise, videos are downloaded to the device, and the user must play them manually.
