Video sharing across Android, IOS

Objective: i) I want to play video that i captured on my android phone to IOS and vice versa.

Problem: Android captures it in mp4 while IOS plays in Mov.

Solution: I can do conversion of formats before uploading to server but thats a slow process and causing performance issues.

Is there any library or solution that does it without slow it down?

I believe whatsapp does it by only uploading stream and making it correct format when someone requests to play it. Im not sure though how they do it.

Why not play the mp4 video on iOS? What need is there to convert?

EDIT: Also forgot to mention, mp4 and mov are basically the same format. You can literally just rename the extension (on iOS at least) and the video still plays.
