Embedding Videos in Markdown #3224
-
|
I've added two mp4 files which are stored using git_lfs and tried to embed them in my talks section. I was unable to view the video in preview, in the website or through the corresponding link. This is the syntax I used, help me please

Embedding video in Markdown isn't supported, so you will need to use HTML instead. Modern browsers should support syntax like the following: <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.
</video>You can include HTML in the *.md files, and the Markdown around it will be processed as normal. |

Thank you for the reply. I now have a second issue. There is now a video embedded in the website using this syntax, but the video itself doesn't work. I'm wondering if this is because of git_lfs? Thank you anyway for solving my initial problem! |

GitHub Pages has a 100 MB file limit so storage on Git LFS isn't going to work. AWS S3 is an alternative though; however, you may end up needing to pay for the bandwidth consumed for that. |
