On latest master, with the following icecat package:
 icecat	68.2.0-guix0-preview3	out	/gnu/store/zqzhirykpqhay8n768aqqg4xplrmpfwz-icecat-68.2.0-guix0-preview3

On the console (via <f12>) I find the following message on websites with
embedded videos:

 The video on this page can’t be played. Your system may not have the
 required video codecs for: video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E mp4a.40.2

I believe this is the same issue reported in
<https://bugs.gnu.org/38045>, so I'm closing this new bug as a
duplicate.

My best guess is here:
<https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=38045#22>

      Thanks,
        Mark
