Hi
you may use the <video> tag to embed videos in HTML...
https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp
As a side note, if you want to have the video be available online, you’ll have to upload video file to your web server. you may even upload to a service like youtube and embed that into your web page.

Umair Salam l so for example I have a MP4 video on my computer what should I do in order to have it on my code(is it possible to put a video without uploading it online)?

Is your HTML code for a website accessible online or is it for local development only on your iMac?
So, if you’d like to publish the video on a website for the world to access you’ll need to upload it. if its just for you, then no.
hope this makes sense :)

Check the link i posted above. And take the HTML course here on SoloLearn :)
here’s some sample code from the link i provided...
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="581512571.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
</body>
</html>
lol I just realized that maybe it's because of the width and height but maybe not...

Looks good. you can try without the width & height parameters if you like.
is the video file in the same folder as the HTML file? double-check the file name/extension.
