Is it possible to configure VSCodium with full audio/video playback support in its webview?

I'm utilize VSCodium as a multimedia content authoring tool using markdown files.
As I know, The official vscode can't playback any video/audio in its webview.

I found VSCodium can playback my mp3 files.

But for the video, It can playback mp4 format.

Insert follow code into a markdown file. It the built-in markdown preview has a gray play button.

<video controls>
  <source src="http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

BTW: Atom can have fully audio/video playback support, is it use different version of ffmpeg?

Thanks for replay.

In case anyone wants MP4 and other video audio support for VSCode/VScodium:

I have solved this by replace VSCode/VScodium packed libffmpeg with libffmpeg form https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases .

Is there any step by step guides to use / implement it ?

@xpol -- VSCodium is a build of vscode. As such, we do not implement any features or fix any bugs in vscode itself, we only run the already written build scripts. MS has no plans to make this work, but if they ever do, it will then work in VSCodium.
