The HTML <video> Element

To show a video in HTML, use the <video> element:

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>

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.

HTML <video> Autoplay

To start a video automatically use the autoplay attribute:

Example

<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>

The autoplay attribute does not work in mobile devices like iPad and iPhone.

The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the <video> element.
