</video>
Am I correct in assuming that theoretically any given video that successfully shows up on screen with correctly coded elements containing embed tags should also show up with correctly coded elements containing video tags and vice versa?
(I am aware I probably have a mistake somewhere but I’d like to know if that general assumption holds true.)
Also, if it’s correctly coded but not supported by codecademy the “Video not supported” message would in fact show on screen, correct? (Big “if” )
Thank you, (this is my very first codecademy question so any feedback on just about anything regarding this post is well-received. I take pleasure in constructive criticism and insight. )
So, I have done some resarch, and finally I asked ChatGPT. So the problem here is that the video element does not work in this case because it needs some APIs or other support in case you would like to use a Youtube video, while the embe tag is perfectly working because it just embed an external video like if it was streaming what Youtube is in reality playing. I don’t know if i’ve been clear, I’m also learning now and english is not my first langauge, let me know.
I think a key distinction is that you do not own the hosting for the video you’re linking to. If you were hosting it yourself, this would be no problem.
