How to Fix Libegl.dll Not Found or Missing Errors

Libegl.dll is a file found in software that renders graphics such as browsers. If it’s missing or can’t be found, launching videos or games on your browser may fail.

The DLL file is also found in Firefox’s graphics for rendering web content so if you notice videos not playing while on Firefox, this could be the reason behind it.
