Video Device Profiles
The following is a collection of video playback format profiles and settings for various common devices. Not all supported formats are listed, but only popular supported formats. In addition, most devices support all the formats of its predecessors. For example, iPhone 7 supports all formats listed plus all those of all iPhone types listed before it. Computers (mac, pc, etc) will generally play back any format with codecs installed. To be safe, use an HTML5 mp4 format for best compatibility. For almost all modern android phones or tables to watch video on the device you can use android recommended.
If your device is not listed and has been made after 2014, the "Generic Modern HD" format is a safe bet that it will be compatible with your device. The 1920x1080 video resolution can be downgraded to 1280x720 on these devices as well.
