bookAdding Video Element

index.html

index.html

copy

In this example:

  • <video> element contains a <source> element, which specifies the URL and file type of the video file. Commonly supported formats are WebM, MP4, and OGG;
  • controls attribute displays standard playback controls;
  • If the user's browser doesn't support the video element, a fallback message will be displayed.

Commonly used attributes for the HTML video element include:

  • autoplay: starts playing the video file as soon as the page loads;
  • loop: causes the video file to loop continuously;
  • muted: mutes the audio by default;
  • volume: specifies the default volume level for the audio file, ranging from 0.0 (silent) to 1.0 (full volume);
  • poster: specifies the URL of an image to display as the video thumbnail before the video is played;
  • width and height: specifies the width and height of the video player in pixels.

Here's an example demonstrating the usage of all these attributes:
