Can’t play Airdropped Videos

So I recently was going through old fotos and videos on my moms old camera . I put the memory card on my mac laptop and air dropped the videos to my phone but they are not playing? There is no sound and when there is it only pops up for a second and doesn’t play. How can I fix this?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 17

1. Check video format compatibility with iOS. Convert video formats using apps like HandBrake or VLC Media Player.

2. Update your iPhone and Mac with the latest software updates. Re-airdrop the video and try playing it in different apps. Free up storage if needed. Reset settings without erasing data. Reboot devices if necessary. Inspect the video file for corruption or incompleteness. Check for DRM protection if necessary. Contact Apple Support for further assistance.
