Audio and Video Embedding

Audio Embedding

To include audio files on a web page, we can utilize the <audio> element. Let's consider an example:

html

index

css

index

js

index

copy

In this example we have.

  • <audio> element contains a <source> element, which specifies the URL and file type of the audio file. Commonly supported formats are MP3 and OGG;
  • controls attribute displays standard playback controls such as play, pause, and volume;
  • If the user's browser doesn't support the audio element, a fallback message will be displayed.

Additional attributes commonly used with the HTML audio element include:

  • autoplay - starts playing the audio file as soon as the page loads;
  • loop - causes the audio file to loop continuously;
  • muted - mutes the audio by default;
  • volume - specifies the default volume level for the audio file, ranging from 0.0 (silent) to 1.0 (full volume).

Here's an example demonstrating the usage of all these attributes:

html
