HTML Media
HTML Multimedia
Multimedia is available in numerous formats. It can be almost anything audible or visible, including images, music, sound, videos, records, films, and animations.
Web pages frequently include multimedia components of various types and formats.
Browser Support
The earliest web browsers only supported text and were limited to a single font and colour.
Subsequently, browsers with support for colours, fonts, images, and multimedia were developed.
Multimedia Formats
In media files, multimedia elements (such as audio and video) are stored.
The most common method for determining the type of a file is to examine its file extension.
