      Windows 7 SP1

      It's not the 'N' version of Windows 7 is it? If so, you need something like https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16546.

        Your last option might be to install a codec pack for Windows 7 to see if it helps.

        https://www.google.com/search?q=best+codec+pack+for+windows+7.

        I don't know which one is best and don't know which ones are safe (and don't install extra crap) though, so do your research first.

          This is the basic summary of the problem I have for all this:

          OS: Windows 7 SP1 64-bit
          CPU: Intel Core i3-380M, 2533 MHz
          GPU: Built-in Intel HD Graphics (possibly 1st-gen)

          In Opera (latest Stable (56) and Developer (57)), Vivaldi (Stable and Snapshot), Chromium (latest Chromium 71 build), all with fresh profiles, videos on messenger.com don't play properly. There's audio, but no video. Video only plays correctly in Chrome and Brave.

          Masking as Chrome does not help.

          Odd that it plays in Brave when Brave isn't supposed to use ffmpeg for proprietary codecs.

          No codec packs installed on Windows 7.

            Right.

            Nope

                As additional info, I have to precise that everything works perfectly in Beaker browser. I don't know if it's a Chromium based browser, though.
                Extra note: Beaker browser in handling DAT peer to peer technology. If any Opera team member is reading this... 😉
