Where is the video?
Hello merabet,
The video is on the page and is working correctly. If you can't see it then there are several things you might try. First, try using a different device, especially if you are current accessing the page via a mobile device (mobiles devices like phones and tablets sometimes have less multimedia compatibility than laptop or desktop computers). Second, you could check your security settings to ensure they are not blocking certain multimedia types. Third, try using a different browser.
If you try these and the problem persists then the issue may be related to something else, such as an issue with local regulations or your internet provider.
Good luck!
