Supported media formats

LibreOffice relies on the operating system's installed media support.

For Microsoft Windows: LibreOffice can open anything for which DirectShow filters are installed (list of default formats).
For GNU/Linux: LibreOffice uses gstreamer, so whatever you can play using gstreamer can be used with LibreOffice (list of defined types).
For Apple macOS: LibreOffice uses QuickTime supported media formats (list of media formats).
