00:00Welcome back guys, today we are going to see how to use video tag.
00:05In html, it is considered difficult to use video tag but it is not difficult at all.
00:13First of all, you go and click on the subscribe button and also click on the bell icon so that you can get my video notification.
00:24First of all, I have written the video tag here.
00:29The video tag is the same as we use the normal element in html.
00:35Along with that, we get some attributes.
00:38We talked about attributes that are additional information that we are giving to the tag.
00:44So we get an attribute of width that the content of the video that we are showing, how much width it will take our page.
00:53Along with that, we get an attribute of height that will show us how much height this video will take our space on our website.
01:02Along with that, we get controls.
01:04Controls is that you have to move your video forward and backward.
01:07This is an attribute of controls.
01:10And this is an attribute for which you only need a key.
01:15You don't need a value.
01:16In the last video, you will definitely check out how we define attributes and what attributes are.
01:24So we talked about that attributes are basically key value pairs that tell our tag.
01:30It gives additional information.
01:32We have this tag to follow up this information with us.
01:38So we give attributes to tags for this.
01:41So here in the video tag, now here we have one thing that is going to note is that we also have a source tag.
01:50Auto closing tag is used in our video.
01:54Now here we use the tag of the video that we have to show the video.
01:58But now we have to show that we have taken the video from the source.
02:04So here we have a source tag.
02:07Basically, it is used for the tag of the video.
02:11So in the video tag, we nest an auto closing tag of a source.
02:17I have also told the nesting of the tag in the last video.
02:21So kindly you will definitely check out that video.
02:24You will get a good view of how you can nest in tags.
02:29Now after that, we have used a source tag here.
02:33Along with that, an attribute src.
02:35src is basically a comprehensive word that stands out.
02:41It stands out the source.
02:43And the value of this key is what is the absolute path and what is the relative path.
02:50Basically, I have also told in the last video that what is the absolute path and what is the relative path.
02:55Here we have to tell this because this source is basically the auto closing tag of this source.
03:03It is also used for video.
03:07And along with that, we also use this source tag for images.
03:12So along with that, we have an attribute of type.
03:16And what does this attribute of type tell?
03:18What is the extension of your video?
03:21The extension of our video is mp4.
03:24So I have written mp4 here.
03:26Let's suppose I say that my video is here.
03:30And the type of the video is let's suppose bus is also a type.
03:35Or we have mp4 which we had kept.
03:38So you define a type of your video here.
03:41Now let's go to the browser screen and see that the tag of this video that we have used.
03:47What impact does it give us?
03:50So here we are on the browser screen.
03:52And see on the browser screen that we click on play here.
03:57So the video that we had kept here, that video is played here.
04:01So awesome, our HTML tag is working perfectly.
04:05Along with that, we also have additional attributes here.
04:09Here we can say let's suppose, see how many additional attributes are available here.
04:15Now here comes an attribute of autoplay.
04:18Which whenever anyone comes to your website, it will automatically start playing.
04:24And controls are basically these things that you can do big screen by doing controls.
04:30Here you can play it again.
04:33And we can also say here that we also have an attribute of loop available.
04:39Basically HTML is so vast.
04:42You can learn HTML, it is very easy.
04:45Whatever comes to your mind, that attribute is available here.
04:50Most of the cases we do the same here.
04:53Now see here that when 10 seconds will pass.
04:56So after 10 seconds, this loop, because I have used this attribute.
05:00So it will automatically start running again, you saw.
05:05Now here, if I finish the controls.
05:09So see here, I have finished the controls.
05:12So now when I hover, nothing is coming to me.
05:15It means that our video has started running as such.
05:19So we have seen the video tag in this series of HTML.
05:24How do we utilize the video tag?
05:27And I told you a detail on the video tag.
05:30That video tag, along with utilizing us.
05:35What attributes does it provide us?
05:37Today's video takes us to the conclusion.
05:41That it is very easy for us to use the video tag.
05:46And HTML tells us in a very unique and precise way.
05:51How we can put our video tag or any video on our website.
05:58So this video's comment target is 10.
