Hello everyone,
Personally, with GMAIL, I use FIREFOX as my browser and when I want to view a video; I click on download:

and I select Open with and I immediately watch the video with Windows Media.
I just installed GMAIL on my wife's PC who uses GOOGLE as her browser and there => we can only 'Download' the video documents. Then, the Windows Media player plays the downloaded files without any problem.
Please, is there a special setting to apply with GOOGLE to access the Windows Media player like in FIREFOX??? If so, could you please tell me how to do it?
Thank you in advance for your advice and understanding.
Awaiting your response; I wish you a good evening.
Best regards

    I just received a response from GMAIL:
    It's normal GOOGLE can't read MP4 files..
    So you must download them to be able to read them.

      That's partially false. I open mp4, mp3, and mkv files with Firefox. My email is Gmail but my browser is Firefox. Now, when you talk about Google, maybe you're using Chrome. I will try. You might be right regarding the Google-Google pair. But it's false if you're using Firefox-Gmail.
      Best regards
