Please check out https://wwebjs.dev/guide/handling-attachments.html#caveat-for-sending-videos-and-gifs

To send mp4s and other proprietary formats you need to use Google Chrome, as Chromium does not support them.

I performed a test using Google Chrome and the same chromium error occurs. My version: Version 98.0.4758.102 (Official version) 64-bit

Same results here. When I tried to send a mp4 video (with chrome) get:

Bug from my side, using chrome video is sending ok. Client connection:

const client = new Client( { puppeteer: { headless: true , args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox', '--remote-debugging-port=9222']
, executablePath: '/usr/bin/google-chrome' } ,authStrategy: new LocalAuth({ clientId: "example" }) }
);
