I apparently received the email yesterday evening. Once I was in the position of doing anything about it, it was on and I had other commitments.

Surely the same must have applied to everyone, particularly the "other commitments". Who has no work to be delivered, after all? I've only just found the time to reply!

I tried both Vivaldi and Firefox (on Windows 10 64-bit), but neither can play the videos.

OK, got it working in Edge. However: the video quality is too poor to actually watch. If I make it bigger, it is way too blocky.
