Previous Page Next Page  

Amp-video in amp is a standard html5 video used to play direct video embeds. In this chapter, let us understand how to work with and use amp-video.

To work with amp-video we need to add following script −

<script async custom-element = "amp-video" 
   src = "https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-video-0.1.js">
</script>

Amp-video has src attribute which has the video resource to be loaded, which is lazily loaded by amp at runtime. Besides, all the features are almost same as html5 video tag.

The following are the nodes that are to be added to amp video −

    Source − You can add different media files to be played using this tag.

    Track − This tag lets you enable the subtitles for the video.

    Placeholder − This placeholder tag will show content before the video starts.

    Fallback − This tag will be called when the browser does not support HTML5 video.

Format of amp-video tag

The format for amp-video tag is shown here −

<amp-video controls width = "640" height = "360" 
   layout = "responsive" poster = "images/videoposter.png">
   <source src = "video/bunny.webm" type = "video/webm" />
   <source src = "video/samplevideo.mp4" type = "video/mp4" />
   
   <span fallback>
      <p>This browser does not support the video element.</p>
   </span>
</amp-video>

Let us understand amp-video using a working example as shown below −
