Looks like, on Ubuntu 20.04 the fix is as simple as installing the latest version of chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra from http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/chromium-browser/ for Chromium your Opera version is based on. I just installed chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_97.0.4692.71-0ubuntu0.18.04.1_amd64.deb and video playback in Opera 83 works again. No need to symlink libraries.
The solution worked for me (Opera 83)! First, I had to uninstall the newer codecs I had installed.

I solved the problem by uninstalling my old install of opera and installing it again via snap (https://snapcraft.io/opera).
I hope it helps you!snap install opera
Installed Ubuntu 20.04 and had the same problems with videos not playing well with the latest version of Opera. Did what you recommended, uninstalled Opera installed Opera again with snap and this solved all my video issues.
Thanks.
A little update on what is happening now since installing Opera with Snap.
Now have Opera Version: 84.0.4316.21 Opera is up to date.All videos play fine but Opera takes 40-50 seconds to launch every time at first when booting up my desktop. After this if I close down Opera and re-launch Opera starts up in 5-10 seconds. This long 40-50 second launch of Opera only occurs first time after a fresh PC boot up.

yup ! It worked ! Thanks
I had to adjust the instructions to opensuse tumbleweed, since the package chromium-ffmpeg-extra put the file libffmpeg on folder /usr/lib64/opera/lib_extra.
Besides that, its works on next run:zypper in chromium-ffmpeg-extra
mv /usr/lib64/opera/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib64/opera/libffmpeg.so.obsolete
n -s /usr/lib64/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib64/opera/libffmpeg.so -

Video Playback on Arch
If, after updating opera, video playback, on websites such as YouTube, crashes the tab, please install opera-ffmpeg-codecs from the community repository. This should remedy the playback error.

Thank you in advancedI don't know any version numbers. I just know these instructions worked for me several months ago and it updates properly.
My libffmpeg.so file is 1.8 MB in size in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/ and another one is 17.4 MB in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib_extra/
