How do I add audio and video in HTML to my first website?

The HTML element is used to embed sound content in documents. It may contain one or more audio sources, represented using the SRC attribute or the element, the browser will choose the most suitable one. It can also be the destination for streamed media, using a MediaStream.

Question

I followed the instructions correctly, but it doesn't seem to work. How can I fix this?

Community Answer

Either repeat Step 5 while making sure to add ".html" at the end of the file's name and select "All Files (*.*)" or verify that your code is correct without any errors.

Question

How do I make a game in HTML?

Community Answer

HTML isn't a programming language intended to create video games, or even run heavier processes. HTML is for website structure, CSS is for website style and JavaScript is for website interaction. Your best chance of learning how to make video games starts with learning a low-level programming language (one that the computer understands much faster); I personally recommend C++ and C# for indie developers because of their ability to run with Unity.

Question

What are the steps for saving HTML?

Community Answer

Open your notepad file, click 'Save As', type in the name of your file and add .html at the end. Then, in the drop-down menu, change 'Text Documents' to 'All Files' (the encoding is meant to be UTF-8 if you have that as an option to the bottom right.) Then click save! You should be able to open it via a browser.

Question

When saving my Notepad file as a HTML file, how do I make sure that there is also a TXT file there that I can edit? Because when I save it as a .html file, there is no way for me to edit the site.

Community Answer

Make sure that, if you’re using Windows, you set HTML files to open with Notepad, because there, you can still edit it like a txt file. Do this by right-clicking, clicking “open with”, and then finding Notepad.

Question

How can we save code written on Notepad?

Stockriderj

Community Answer

You can save it just like on any other application. HTML doesn't only work on certain apps.

Question

I want colours on the web page. What extensions we should use for that?

Stockriderj

Community Answer

Colors do not need extensions. You just need CSS, preferably an external CSS file, which you would use to style elements on the webpage, making colors.
