You can provide multiple sources for the video in different formats to ensure compatibility with different browsers.

  <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />

</audio>

You can provide multiple sources for the audio in different formats to ensure compatibility with different browsers.

Embedding YouTube Videos

You can embed YouTube videos in your HTML using the embed code provided by YouTube. This is done by copying the embed code from the YouTube video and pasting it into your HTML file.

Using the Embed Code from YouTube:

Go to the YouTube video you want to embed.
Click on the “Share” button below the video.
Click on the “Embed” option.
Copy the provided iframe code.
Paste the iframe code into your HTML file.

Example:

<iframe
  width="560"
  height="315"
  src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID"
  frameborder="0"
  allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture"
  allowfullscreen
></iframe>

Replace VIDEO_ID with the actual ID of the YouTube video you want to embed.

Customizing the Embedded YouTube Video: You can customize the embedded video by modifying the parameters in the src URL. For example:

autoplay=1: Starts playing the video automatically.
controls=0: Hides the video controls.
loop=1: Loops the video.

Example with custom parameters:

<iframe
  width="560"
  height="315"
  src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID?autoplay=1&controls=0&loop=1"
  frameborder="0"
  allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture"
  allowfullscreen
></iframe>

By using these elements and attributes, you can effectively embed and control multimedia content on your web pages.
