The HTML element embeds a media player which supports video playback into the document. You can use for audio content as well, but the element may provide a more appropriate user experience.
The above example shows simple usage of the element. In a similar manner to the element, we include a path to the media we want to display inside the src attribute; we can include other attributes to specify information such as video width and height, whether we want it to autoplay and loop, whether we want to show the browser's default video controls, etc.
The content inside the opening and closing tags is shown as a fallback in browsers that don't support the element.
Like all other HTML elements, this element supports the global attributes.
autoplay
A Boolean attribute; if specified, the video automatically begins to play back as soon as it can do so without stopping to finish loading the data.
To disable video autoplay, autoplay="false" will not work; the video will autoplay if the attribute is there in the tag at all. To remove autoplay, the attribute needs to be removed altogether.
In some browsers (e.g. Chrome 70.0) autoplay doesn't work if no muted attribute is present.
controls
Browsers don't all support the same video formats; you can provide multiple sources inside nested elements, and the browser will then use the first one it understands.
We offer a substantive and thorough guide to media file types and the guide to the codecs supported for video. Also available is a guide to audio codecs that can be used with them.
Other usage notes:
•If you don't specify the controls attribute, the video won't include the browser's default controls; you can create your own custom controls using JavaScript and the HTMLMediaElement API. See Creating a cross-browser video player for more details.
•To allow precise control over your video (and audio) content, HTMLMediaElements fire many different events. In addition to providing controllability, these events let you monitor the progress of both download and playback of the media, as well as the playback state and position.
•You can use the object-position property to adjust the positioning of the video within the element's frame, and the object-fit property to control how the video's size is adjusted to fit within the frame.
Single source
This example plays a video when activated, providing the user with the browser's default video controls to control playback.
Multiple sources
This example builds on the last one, offering three different sources for the media; this allows the video to be watched regardless of which video codecs are supported by the browser.
Videos should provide both captions and transcripts that accurately describe its content (see Adding captions and subtitles to HTML video for more information on how to implement these). Captions allow people who are experiencing hearing loss to understand a video's audio content as the video is being played, while transcripts allow people who need additional time to be able to review audio content at a pace and format that is comfortable for them.
It's worth noting that while you can caption audio-only media, you can only do so when playing audio in a element, since the video region of the element is used to present the captions. This is one of the special scenarios in which it's useful to play audio in a video element.
If automatic captioning services are used, it is important to review the generated content to ensure it accurately represents the source video.
In addition to spoken dialog, subtitles and transcripts should also identify music and sound effects that communicate important information. This includes emotion and tone:
Captions should not obstruct the main subject of the video. They can be positioned using the align VTT cue setting.

Code sample
<video controls><source src="myVideo.mp4" type="video/mp4"><source src="myVideo.webm" type="video/webm"><p>Your browser doesn't support HTML5 video. Here isa <a href="myVideo.mp4">link to the video</a> instead.</p>...HTML Video. The HTML <video> tag is used to embed a media player which supports video playback into the HTML page. We use the HTML <video> tag and the <source> tag to show the video. For example, <video width="320" height="190" controls> <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video>. Browser output.
Jun 23, 2024 · If you are unable to source any video or audio, then you can feel free to use our sample audio and video files to carry out this exercise. You can also use our sample code for reference. We would like you to: Save your audio and video files in a new directory on your computer. Create a new HTML file in the same directory, called index.html.
Video editing by code involves software that can import source files (like images, video footage, audio clips, custom fonts, etc.), apply filters and styling, render animations, assemble the video, and encode the pixel data into a format like H.264.
Jan 27, 2020 · The HTML <video> element is used to embed video in web documents. It may contain one or more video sources, represented using the src attribute or the source element. To embed a video file, just add this code snippet and change the src to the path of your video file:
