Hello, World!
To add a video from your library and use its URL in your code, follow these steps:
Upload the video to a hosting service: If your video is saved locally, you'll need to upload it to a server or cloud storage that provides a public URL. Common options include AWS S3, Google Drive (with sharing enabled), Dropbox, or a dedicated video hosting platform like Vimeo.
Get the direct URL of the video: After uploading, retrieve the direct link to the video file. Make sure it ends with the video file extension, such as
.mp4,.webm, etc.Embed the video using HTML:
<video width="640" height="360" controls>
<source src="https://yourdomain.com/path/to/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
Replace
https://yourdomain.com/path/to/video.mp4with your actual video URL.The
controlsattribute adds the play/pause and volume controls.Adjust
widthandheightto fit your design.
Using the URL in other programming environments:
For CSS background videos, use
background-video(note: limited support).For frameworks like React, the same HTML snippet works within JSX by replacing
classwithclassName.
Example in React JSX:
<video width="640" height="360" controls>
<source src="https://yourdomain.com/path/to/video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
Ensure that the hosting service permits direct video linking and bandwidth usage to avoid playback issues.
