[Libreoffice-qa] Media Support in LibreOffice

[Jay Philips]

Hi Robinson,

I have updated the wiki with my finds for Linux and Windows. Alex's Mac
findings can be found at <
https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=79546 > and pretty
much can be summaries as videos can be inserted and a preview will
display, but has no playback.

Regards,
Jay Philips
