Chrome doesn’t support H.265 by-design, even if it’s host OS supports it, because Google is trying hard to encourage people to use the (purportedly) patent unencumbered WebM format and codec instead.
In summary:
H.264 has the widest adoption of all modern video formats.
H.265 is Microsoft + Apple.
WebM is Google and Firefox.
H.266 came out a few weeks ago.
