This lesson is part of HTML · All levels

Summary

HTML5 provides built-in elements for multimedia playback, namely <video> for movies and <audio> for sound, so it no longer relies on additional plugins. Both elements support built-in controls such as play, pause, and volume. The supported format varies between browsers, so it is recommended to provide more than one source.

Key points

<video> and <audio> are HTML5 built-in media elements
Attribute controls display the built-in player button
Provide more than one <source> for format compatibility
