video Tag

The video tag creates an area for playing videos on a web page.

For example, you can embed a video on your web page as shown below:

Using the video Tag
<video width="320" height="240" controls> <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video>
  • width and height: Specify the size of the video player.

  • controls: Display video controls such as play/pause buttons.

  • <source>: Specifies the path and type of the video file.


Considerations When Using the <video> Tag

  1. File Formats: Video file formats supported by web browsers are not universally the same. Therefore, it is recommended to prepare multiple formats to ensure compatibility across different browsers.

  2. Alternative Text: The text written inside the video tag defines what is displayed in browsers that do not support video. It is good practice to include a description of the video here.

  3. Data Usage: Video files are large and can affect page loading speed. It is important to use them only where necessary and to compress the file size as much as possible.
