What's the file type? Would you know the container? Also, you might only have access to it while at school connected to their wifi.

Hello there!

The stock gallery app doesn't support all video codecs - it's a bit limiting in that regard. I would recommend getting a 3rd-party media player that supports more formats, such as VLC for Android!
