After watching Joseph Labrecque’s video series on LinkedIn Learning, I have to say I was totally lost on how audio/video implementation works with html. So I began searching for a good tutorial that I could follow. I eventually found an article on WebNots called “How to Embed Audio and Video Using HTML5?” Which ended up being a very simple and straight forward page on the <audio> and <video> elements.

The article goes into a good overview of why audio and video are good for a website, and walks the user through how to setup the basic code. The video portion of the blog goes into a little detail about the “autoplay,” “loop,” and “control” functions, but doesn’t give that much insight into them. All together its a good beginners guide to html audio and video.

For the more video oriented people, I also found two well done tutorials on Youtube.
