Not all web conferencing Apps support MP4.\u00a0 As a result, your iPhone and iPad users may not be able to watch the MP4 videos or audio recordings you upload.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>For compatibility purposes, your web conferencing app should also work with Android&#8217;s newest OS version called &#8220;Marshmallow&#8221; (6.0 &amp; 6.0.1).
