In the past, embedding a video in a HTML webpage was not an easy task because just like in the case of audio files, there were no standard methods of attaching media files to web documents. You can use the new HTML 5 <video> element to attach video files as shown in the example below. Other methods of attaching media files are still available to developers, but they are not as reliable as using the <video> element.
Embedding YouTube videos
There are many developers who prefer uploading their videos to YouTube first before attaching them to their documents using code.
To show a video in HTML, use the?<video>?element:
<video width="500" height="320" controls> <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4"> <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video>
HTML <video> Autoplay
To start a video automatically use the?autoplay?attribute:
<video width="320" height="240" autoplay> <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4"> <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video>
