FLV
FLV is designed by Adobe for transmitting video files over the internet. You can upload FLV files to Facebook and YouTube, but not to other social media and video sharing platforms. The most compatible media player for FLV files is VLC.
FLV (Flash Video) files are used for storing videos in the "Flash VIdeo" format. However, it is not a widely-used format today, because Adobe has officially discontinued Flash. You can still create and share files in the FLV file format if you use a Flash Video exporter plug-in.
WebM
WebM is used for streaming high-quality videos on the web. You can upload WebM videos to Facebook and YouTube, but not to mobile-based social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. It is compatible with media players like VLC and Windows Media Player. You cannot play WebM files on QuickTime Media Player.
Content stored as WebM files features instant playback times. It requires a compatible browser to be played, like Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer.
