Change #1247571 had a related patch set uploaded (by ATitkov; author: ATitkov):

[mediawiki/extensions/WP25EasterEggs@master] Update video assets to VP8 and optimize idle video playback

Thanks for the heads up @SherryYang-WMF, it seems the older ios safari versions are not able to play vp9 codec.

Would you be able to test this patch locally to see if it works?

ps. the setup entails extra extensions and some sql in order to work https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/extensions/WP25EasterEggs but if needed I can assist you on that
