Video made with iphone 8 will not play on windows or imac.

After trying to open the video in QuickTime, video still will not play. I continue getting "video incompatible". Can anyone assist me with this, please?

While this won't help the currently recorded video, go to Settings>Camera>Format, and make sure that you have Most Compatible checked. My guess is that your computer does not have a correct CODEC to play the video right now. Did you check the Related Article you came to the forum with?
