What elements do you think that support media content in HTML5

[Christopher_45]

According to me, some important elements in HTML5 that support media are <video>, <embed>, and <source>. I would like to know something more about it from you guys.

There's also track and audio. Noted at many tutorial sites like https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/what-are-the-media-element-tags-introduced-by-html5/

For me, when I need to use these elements I often have to refresh my memory with either the HTML5 documentation or a tutorial. It's been great to not have to keep all this in my head today.

What else is there really to say?

<video> is an HTML5 element that allows you to embed video content on a web page. The <video> element supports multiple video formats, such as MP4, WebM, and Ogg. You can also use the <source> element within the <video> element to specify different video sources for different browsers.

<embed> is an HTML5 element that allows you to embed external content, such as videos, images, and flash animations, on a web page. It is often used to embed videos from popular video-sharing websites such as YouTube and Vimeo.

<source> is an HTML5 element that is used within the <video> and <audio> elements to specify different media sources for different browsers. This allows you to provide multiple versions of the same video or audio file in different formats, such as MP4 and WebM, and have the browser automatically choose the best one to play.

These elements are useful for embedding multimedia content on webpages, but it's important to note that not all web browsers support all video and audio formats. Therefore, it's best practice to provide multiple formats to ensure that your media can be played on as many browsers and devices as possible.

I think there is also <canvas></canvas> that must be added to the list

I'm not even quite sure if the OP is asking for a list of all HTML5 media elements, or more about the three he listed?
