Web Standards
Most authoring tools offer the choice between HTML5 and Flash output, or a mixture of both with the most appropriate selected automatically depending on the browser’s compatibility.
Flash-based developments are no more supported anymore, please only provide HTML5 based contents.
The following graph depicts the maturing of the HTML5 standard in several browsers over time, as measured by HTML5test.com.

The following table gives an overview of each authoring tool’s HTML5 output and which browser versions are supported. When selecting an authoring tool it is essential that the tool chosen supports the current version of both of the official Bayer browsers.

Discontinued Standards
Apple QuickTime
As of June 2016, Apple QuickTime software was discontinued on all Bayer PCs for security reasons. Any video or audio codecs that rely on Apple QuickTime technology can thus no longer be used in WBT development.
