Html audio and video elements

on

 HTML provides the `<audio>` and `<video>` elements for embedding audio and video content in web pages. These elements allow you to add multimedia content to your HTML documents and control playback through HTML attributes and JavaScript.

Here's an overview of how to use these elements:

1. `<audio>` Element:

The `<audio>` element is used to embed audio content in your web page. It supports various audio formats such as MP3, WAV, OGG, etc. Here's an example of how to use the `<audio>` element:


```html

<audio src="audiofile.mp3" controls>

  Your browser does not support the audio tag.

</audio>

```


In the example above, the `src` attribute specifies the URL of the audio file, and the `controls` attribute adds a set of playback controls (play, pause, volume, etc.) to the audio player. The text within the `<audio>` tags will be displayed if the browser doesn't support the `<audio>` element.


2. `<video>` Element:

The `<video>` element is used to embed video content in your web page. It supports various video formats such as MP4, WebM, OGG, etc. Here's an example of how to use the `<video>` element:


```html

<video src="videofile.mp4" controls>

  Your browser does not support the video tag.

</video>

```


Similar to the `<audio>` element, the `src` attribute specifies the URL of the video file, and the `controls` attribute adds a set of playback controls to the video player. The text within the `<video>` tags will be displayed if the browser doesn't support the `<video>` element.


Both the `<audio>` and `<video>` elements have additional attributes and options for customization. For example, you can specify the width and height of the video player using the `width` and `height` attributes, or use JavaScript to control playback programmatically.


Remember to provide alternative text or fallback content within the element tags so that it is displayed in browsers that do not support the audio or video element.
