What does "Well-received" mean here?

So I applied for a job, and at some stage, I had to record a 3 minutes video and send them. After sending the video, they replied to me: "Well-received". What does this mean? Does it mean that my application passed this stage, and they were pleased with the video? Or was it just a confirmation that they got the file?

English is my third language, and I am sorry this question might sound dumb to some of you. Lol

Their meaning is ambiguous. In context, it appears that they're acknowledging that the video was received by them, but that's a strange way to phrase that.

I would expect the term "well received" to be used in a different context, such as someone saying, "Your submission was well received," but that doesn't appear to be what they meant.

Have you asked for clarification?

@DunningKruger Yes, I also find it weird and confusing to use this phrase to say that they received it.

I haven't asked them for clarification, and I don't have a good feeling about asking them about it. I'll just see what happens.
