The img element is not a self-closing element. You can supply text as the content of the video element, which will be display if the video does not display for some reason.

The video element also has a src attribute, which is used to specify the location of the video. There are a couple of additional attributes that need to be set to control the video. These are a special kind of attribute, called boolean attributes.

Boolean Attributes

Boolean attributes are attributes that do not have a value. Their presence or absence indicates their value. If they are absent, the value is false. If the attribute is present, the value is true.

The following is a list of the boolean attributes we are going to set on the video element.

controls - indicates whether the control panel is present on the video. this is the place where the user can interact with the video, such as starting and pausing.

autoplay - indicates whether the video should start immediately when the page loads.

muted - indicates that the sound should be turned off. this is require in some browsers for autoplay to work, as it can be problematic for videos with sound to autoplay unexpectedly.

loop - continually replay the video.
