Before HTML5, there was no standard for playing audios or videos on webpages, unless used with a plug-in (like flash). The HTML5 <audio> and <video> elements specifies a standard way to embed audio and video in a web page.
Tag | Description |
---|---|
<audio> | Defines sound or music content |
<embed> | Defines containers for external applications (like plug-ins) |
<source> | Defines sources for <video> and <audio> |
<track> | Defines tracks for <video> and <audio> |
<video> | Defines video or movie content |
This should be very interesting. Goodbye to You Tube?
