Install chromium-codecs-extra (I think that's the correct name, may have the first two words swapped). It has been discussed several times, though usually in relation to *buntu of course.

Debian does not package chromium-ffmpeg-codecs(-extra) from chromium's source.

https://packages.debian.org/source/stretch/chromium-browser

Instead, it relies on 3 of ffmpeg's libraries to provide the needed html5 support which are: libavcodec(-extra), libavformat and libavutil, and these are direct dependencies of the chromium package.
