I am using HTML 4 on coffee cup editor. I have a site www.libertyaba.org that I post videos on. They can only be viewed using IE but no other browsers. What do I need to do to enable these videos on edge, chrome, firefox, etc.?
Any help is greatly appreciated. I am new at this.
Thank you for your help

Plugin-based content no longer works on Chrome and other browsers.

Your site using old method plugin

Possibly its flash video plugin which major browsers dropped supporting it

To fix the issue you need to update it with new HTML 5 format.

And be a safe, you have to provide all these 3 video formats as follow:

<video >
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
<source src="movie.webm" type="video/webm">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

You might consider creating a channel on YouTube and posting your videos there. You can then use the embed code on your site to show the videos. This does a couple of things for you. (1) It reduces your bandwidth usage which can run pretty high when streaming/downloading video. (2) It allows you to promote your site via the video description. Get your congregation to go there and give it a thumbs up. Ask them to share it on their Facebook, Google+ and Twitter. You may find it a good way to promote your site and reach an audience outside your local region.
