jalco-drop -e 7d voice-memo.m4aWhich files play depends on the browser opening them. MP4 with H.264 video plays in every browser. Others, such as HEVC .mov recordings from an iPhone, may not, so convert them first:
ffmpeg -i recording.mov -c:v libx264 -c:a aac recording.mp4

A markdown drop can embed a video or audio file with a <video> or <audio> tag, pointing at its raw link.
