How to Embed Multimedia in HTML ? - Coding

A variety of tags such as the <img> tag, <video> tag, and <audio> tag are available in HTML to include media on your web page. Multimedia combines different media, such as images, audio, and videos. Users will have a better experience when multimedia is embedded into HTML. Early web browsers only supported text and were limited to a single font in a single color. However, later browsers introduced support for various fonts, images, and multimedia elements.

Note: Provide multiple video formats such as .wav, .mp3, .mp4, .mpg, .wmv, etc.

Syntax:

// Embedding image
<img src="horje.jpg" alt="Logo">

// Embedding video
<video width="500px" height="300px" controls> 
<source src="Small_movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">  
</video>

// Embedding audio
<audio controls>   
<source src="Small_audio.mp3" type="audio/mp3"> 
</audio>

The control property adds playback control like play, pause, volume. etc. The <source> tag specifies the specific video file and the type attribute is used to specify the MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) type. If the browser does not support a video tag then the content present inside will be displayed. Provide multiple video formats such as MP4, MOV, AVI, WEBM.. etc.
