Using the S3 web management console (https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3), select your bucket, right-click one of your video files, switch to the metadata tab and set 2 headers:

• Content-Type: whatever your video file's content type is
• Content-Disposition: inline

Also, make sure your CloudFront distribution is set as a "streaming" distribution and not a "download" one.

From the AWS docs:

CloudFront servers don't determine the MIME type for the objects they serve. Therefore, when you upload an object to your origin, you should set the object's Content-Type header.
