Hi,

This issue is caused by the set of codecs included in the CEF binaries.
You need to build the CEF binaries with proprietary codecs in order to upload MP4 (H264) videos to whatsapp.

Read this for more information about building the CEF binaries :

Perhaps Whatsapp is testing the open source codecs and they enabled the uploads with those codecs.
I'm surprised it even worked with the Spotify binaries.
