# H264 and H265 Video in Safestar

![](https://safestar.ai/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/h265-150x150.jpeg)

Safestar supports video encoding in **H.264** (AVC) and **H.265** (HEVC) formats. For these formats to function properly, both hardware support and browser compatibility are required. Please note that the **H.265** codec is often not supported by older computers with outdated operating systems or browsers.

To make compatibility verification easier, we have prepared a diagnostic window that allows you to test codec support.

The test can be found at Safestar: **ACCOUNT> VIDEO DEVICES> CHECK BROWSER COMPATIBILITY** (button in the vertical menu on the left side of the screen)

**Note:** If the test fails, it may mean that video encoded in that format will not be displayed.
