Add Fallback Video Support for WebM Format in Elementor

[StenderIternum]

Prerequisites

• I have searched for similar feature requests in both open and closed discussions and cannot find an existing request.
• I have verified that the feature is still missing from the latest stable versions of Elementor or Elementor Pro.

What problem is your feature request going to solve? Please describe..

As a dedicated user of Elementor, I appreciate the robust features that make it easy to create dynamic and visually engaging websites. However, there’s a growing need for improved video compatibility options—particularly for WebM format.

WebM offers excellent video quality with efficient compression, making it ideal for modern, fast-loading websites. However, WebM is not fully supported across all devices and older browsers. Currently, Elementor does not support fallback video options, which can present a challenge in maintaining consistent media playback for users on varying devices.

Describe the solution you'd like.

Add functionality in Elementor to support fallback video options. This feature would allow users to upload a secondary video format (such as MP4) that can play automatically if WebM or another primary format is unsupported by the user’s device or browser. This would ensure a smoother user experience and eliminate compatibility concerns.

An ideal setup would be a simple option under the video widget settings, allowing users to upload one or more fallback videos that automatically play when the primary video format is unsupported.

Describe alternatives you've considered.
