HTML EMBED TAG

The HTML <embed> tag is used to embed external content, such as multimedia (audio, video, or plugins), into an HTML document. Here's an example of how to use the <embed> tag:

<embed src="path_to_content" type="mime_type" width="width_value" height="height_value">

src: This attribute specifies the URL or path to the content you want to embed. It can be an audio or video file, a plugin, or any other supported content.

type: This attribute indicates the MIME type of the embedded content. It helps the browser determine how to handle and display the content. For example, for an MP3 audio file, you would use type="audio/mpeg".

width and height: These attributes define the width and height of the embedded content in pixels.

Here's an example of embedding a YouTube video using the <embed> tag:

<embed src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/video_id" type="text/html" width="640" height="480">

Replace "video_id" with the actual ID of the YouTube video you want to embed.

Please note that the <embed> tag is not as widely supported as the <iframe> tag for embedding content. The <iframe> tag provides better cross-browser compatibility and more control over the embedded content. If possible, consider using the <iframe> tag instead.
