airdropped videos not playing

i took a screen recording from may m1 mac mini and when i airdropped it to my iPhone SE 2nd gen or my iPad 7 (all are up to date on their respective OS) the video won't play and only gives me an error saying unable to load video - an error occurred while loading a higher quality version of this video.

plays fine in the computer but won't play either on my iPhone, on y iPad, even if i pull it from my iCloud or text it to someone else the issue stays

this started happening after the 13.2 update if im not wrong. photos are fine but video just won't play at all

Mac mini, macOS 13.2
