Example

<video width=”320″ height=”240″controls>
<source src=”movie.mp4″type=”video/mp4″>
<source src=”movie.ogg”type=”video/ogg”>
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

 

Note: .ogg is the video extension you can put your such as mp4 

How it Works

The controls attribute adds video controls, like play, pause, and volume.

It is a good idea to always include width and height attributes. If height and width are not set, the page might flicker while the video loads.

The <source> element allows you to specify alternative video files which the browser may choose from. The browser will use the first recognized format.

The text between the <video> and </video> tags will only be displayed in browsers that do not support the <video> element.
