HTML5

Published At: March 5, 2024

HTML5 is the latest version of HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language), the markup language behind every website. HTML5 is significant for video because it's the version where the <video> tag was introduced. Before HTML5 video, video playback could only be done through browser plugins like Flash, Quicktime, Silverlight, and RealPlayer.
