video Tag
The video tag creates an area on your web page for video playback.
For example, you can embed a video in a web page as shown below:
<video width="320" height="240" controls> <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video>
-
widthandheight: Specify the dimensions of the video player -
controls: Display video controls such as play/pause buttons -
<source>: Specify the path and type of the video file
Considerations When Using the <video> Tag
-
File Format: Not all video file formats are supported by every browser. Therefore, it's a good practice to prepare multiple video file formats to ensure compatibility. -
Alternative Text: The text inside the video tag provides fallback content for browsers that do not support the video element. It's helpful to describe the video content here. -
Data Usage: Video files can be large, which may affect page loading times. Use videos only when necessary and compress files to keep their size manageable.
