HTML video (Videos) playback

Here's a tutorial on HTML video playback:

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) video playback allows you to embed videos directly into your web pages, making it easy to share and stream videos with your website visitors. HTML video playback is supported by most modern web browsers, and it allows you to customize the appearance and behavior of your video player using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

To embed a video in an HTML page, you can use the <video> element, which is supported by most modern web browsers. Here's an example of how to create a simple video player in HTML:

<video src="video.mp4" controls>
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

In this example, a video is embedded using the <video> element, and the src attribute is used to specify the location of the video file. The controls attribute is used to add standard video playback controls, such as play, pause, and volume, to the video player. If the browser does not support the <video> element, the text "Your browser does not support the video tag." will be displayed.

You can also customize the appearance and behavior of your video player using CSS and JavaScript. For example, you can use CSS to change the color and size of the video player controls, or you can use JavaScript to add custom controls or to control the video playback programmatically.

Here's an example of how to use JavaScript to add custom controls to a video player:

<video id="myVideo" src="video.mp4">
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
<button onclick="playVideo()">Play</button>
<button onclick="pauseVideo()">Pause</button>
<script>
  var video = document.getElementById("myVideo");
  function playVideo() {
    video.play();
  }
  function pauseVideo() {
    video.pause();
  }
</script>

In this example, two buttons are created to control the video playback using JavaScript. The play() and pause() methods of the video element are called when the buttons are clicked, allowing you to control the video playback programmatically.

By using HTML video playback, you can add videos directly to your web pages and customize the appearance and behavior of your video player using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This can help you create engaging and interactive web content that includes videos.
