This feature is available in Windows 10 Build 17763 and all higher&nbsp;versions. This extension helps video apps installed on Windows 10 play videos that have been encoded using the AV1 video coding standard developed by the Alliance for Open Media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you install the AV1 video codec, any app such as&nbsp;<strong>Microsoft Edge<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Movies &amp; TV<\/strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>Windows Media Player<\/strong>&nbsp;can use the codec to play AV1 videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steps To Add AV1 Codec Support To Windows 10<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
