WebM Quick Look Preview extension
The original free MacOS plugin to play .webm movies in Quick Look Preview, with no finder panel or background play inconveniences.
**New Version 2.1 Download** from [Releases](https://github.com/Oil3/Webm-QuickLook-Plug-In/releases/tag/webM-jun2025). - WebM QuickLook 2.1: auto-unloads.
###
## Install
>Launch the app once. This registers the extension as the extension itself stays within the app bundle.
## Uninstall
>Delete the app.
## Update
>Replace the older app with the newer app. MacOS looks for the extension in the app: if app is moved, a relaunch might be needed.
Works on all macOSX versions (Monterey to latest Sequoia) and all Silicon or Intel mac architectures.
[Direct download (2.1 Universal Binary)
](https://github.com/Oil3/Webm-QuickLook-Plug-In/releases/download/webM-jun2025/Webm.Quicklook.v21.June2025.zip)

## Features

- [x] introduces controls with the trackpad or the scroll wheel, configurable actions and sensitivity.
- [x] scale-fits the video when resizing the preview above 100%.
- [x] scale-fits the thumbnail in Finder, paused but playable if needed (e.g. gallery view.).
- [x] properly pauses and resumes like a .mov or .mp4,
- [x] has a new sample video.
- [x] has low requirements (From macOS 15 Sequoia down to Monterey 12).

Once the app is launched, the WebM Quicklook extension appears in `Extensions` from `General` in macOS' `System Settings`, and disapears if app is deleted.
