Running on the Linux-based Chrome OS, Chromebook laptop was  originally designed to be used by connecting to the internet with Cloud  technology. Compared to other laptops, Google&rsquo;s Chromebook has a longer battery  life, which can guarantee a longer time of duration. Amazing as Chromebook is,  it has some drawbacks. For example, it has no native support for some video  formats such as FLV, WMV, etc. Now let&rsquo;s take a look at Chromebook&rsquo;s supported  media formats.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"284\" valign=\"top\">\n<p>Microsoft Office Files<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"284\" valign=\"top\">\n<p>.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt    (read-only), .pptx (read-only)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"284\" valign=\"top\">\n<p>Video Files<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"284\" valign=\"top\">\n<p>.3gp, .avi, .mov, .mp4, .m4v, .m4a, .mp3,    .mkv, .ogv, .ogm, .ogg, .oga, .webm, .wav<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"284\" valign=\"top\">\n<p>Image Files<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"284\" valign=\"top\">\n<p>.bmp, .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .webp<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"284\" valign=\"top\">\n<p>Compressed Files<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"284\" valign=\"top\">\n<p>&nbsp;.zip, .rar<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"284\" valign=\"top\">\n<p>Other Supported Files<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"284\" valign=\"top\">\n<p>e.g. .txt, .pdf<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>As is clearly showed in the above table,  Chromebook does not support FLV video format. In order to play FLV files on Chromebook,  we need to take a detour by converting FLV to Chromebook compatible video  format like the universally accepted MP4 video format.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\" id=\"part2\">Part 2: Convert FLV to Play on Chromebook with Leawo Video Converter<\/h2>\n<p>The first FLV to Chromebook converter I  will use is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/video-converter\/\">Leawo Video  Converter<\/a>, a professional video convert able to convert video and audio  files between more than 180 formats.
