<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://ctan.org/pkg/media9">https://ctan.org/pkg/media9</a>

for playing [videos] in a PDF.  That page says:

"Playback of multimedia files uses the built-in Flash Player of Adobe
Reader and does, therefore, not depend on external plug-ins."

However, Flash is going away:

    Flash is going away, but is "the built-in Flash Player of Adobe
    Reader" going away ?  The Google search link that you cite reports
    that browser vendors will drop support for Flash, but there are no
    explicit statements that I can see that suggest that "the built-in
    Flash Player of Adobe<br>
    Reader" is also going away.  Which is not to suggest that it won't,
    merely that there is no evidence that I can locate that says that it
    will.<br>
