Content Warning requires you to film spooky stuff in your playthroughs and then monetize them to advance to the next level. You can then save the replay as a “.webm” file that can’t be loaded by all systems, such as iOS. I will show you how to convert this .webm file into a “.mp4” file, which is more universal.
How to Save Your Content Warning Video to Desktop
When you’re done filming your video in Content Warning, you need to generate the “.webm” file. To do this, you need to rewatch the video you’ve made back at home on the big screen. After the video playback has finished, you will be presented with a few buttons that you can click with your crosshair (cursor).
The first button on the left looks like a save (floppy disk) icon and saves your run as a “.webm” file on your Windows desktop. The file name will be generic, so you’ll have to rename it into something more memorable. Naturally, the “.webm” format is not a mainstream format, and many devices can’t show it. This is why you probably want to convert it to “.mp4,” so you can play it anywhere.
