Unable to get video files to work in InDesign

Have followed instructions carefully on importing mp4 video files to InDesign (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/user-guide.html/indesign/using/movies-sounds.ug.html#change_movie_settings) but for some reason I can't get anywhere - the imported files do not give any settings in the floating Media panel and can't figure out why - any help much appreciated, thanks.

 

InDesign 16.0 | iMac OS 10.15.7

What is your final output?

If it's an Interactive PDF, don't bother, it won't work, try FXL ePub or InDesign's Publish Online instead.

Thansk for swift rteply - client needs an Interactive pdf they can post on their website that includes the video playing within it. Is that a non-starter?

 

Looking at various online tutorials the Media floating window shows option - but mine is blank, unsure why?

I've run a test using InDesign's Publish Online and appears to work - so many thanks for that advice, I'll try that method.
