A video element gives you full HTML5 video control: a primary source plus alternative codec formats for browser fallback, a poster image, fit, and the playback toggles (controls, autoplay, loop, muted, playsinline, preload).
Where: Right sidebar → Media (video selected) — Select a video element
Key ideas
- Sources & formats: Set the main source and add alternative formats (WebM/MP4/MOV) so browsers pick one they support.
- Poster & fit: A poster frame shows before play; object-fit controls how the video fills its box.
- Playback: controls, autoplay, loop, muted, playsinline, preload — and timeline bindings for scripted playback.
Steps
- Select the video element.
- Set the source (and add alt formats if needed).
- Add a poster and choose fit.
- Toggle autoplay/loop/muted (browsers require muted for autoplay).
