In HTML5, the <video> and <audio> tags are used to embed video and audio content directly within a web page without the need for third-party plugins like Flash.
The <video> tag allows you to embed video content. It supports various video formats such as MP4, WebM, and Ogg. You can also specify controls to allow users to play, pause, and adjust the volume of the video.
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>
The <audio> tag is used to embed audio content. It supports formats like MP3, WAV, and Ogg. Similar to the <video> tag, you can add controls for play, pause, and volume adjustment.
Example:
<audio controls>
<source src="audio.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
<source src="audio.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
Your browser does not support the audio tag.
</audio>
