The MP4 standard

MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is a digital multimedia container that stores video streams, audio tracks, still images, and text. Nearly every device and platform supports MP4 playback, making it the default choice for video recording, editing, and distribution across phones, cameras, computers, and streaming platforms.

Common applications

MP4 files dominate video communication: online meetings, webinar recordings, tutorial videos, product demos, user-generated content, and social media uploads all rely on this format. Professional cameras, smartphones, and screen recorders output MP4 by default because of its compatibility and manageable file sizes for sharing.
