The <video> element, unlike the <img> tag, requires an opening and a closing tag.
In addition, a text can be written between the opening and closing tag. The text will be displayed if the browser is unable to load the video.
<video src="myVideo.mp4" width="320" height="240" controls>
Video not supported
</video>
The controls attribute tells the browser to include basic video controls (pause, play, skip).
