Hi there, 

Welcome to Box community!

Please note that "Video preview is available only to Business level Box accounts, and above. If you use a free or personal Box account, you can still preview video files owned by Business Plus-level accounts and above.

Hi Ann, since when did this policy change? I could play .m4v videos just last month, and still can play .mp4 videos, but not .m4v one's. Need info on that
