Play Videos on a Web Page
In HTML5 you can play movie clip and other video streams using the new <video> tag. The src attribute specifies the URL of the video file. The controls attribute displays video controls which include:
- Play
- Pause
- Seeking
- Volume
- Fullscreen toggle
- Captions/Subtitles (when available)
- Track (when available)
Internet Explorer 8 and earlier versions do not support the <video> tag. In order for users viewing your video through older or latest browsers you need to upload the video in at least two different formats as did in the example below. The <source> element inside the <video> element is used to run this video on all supported browsers. You specify alternative video/audio files which the browser may choose from, based on its media type or codec support. Use the <audio> tag to play audio files in HTML5.
