  • <img> Element:The <img> element is used to embed images into a web page. It requires the src attribute that specifies the URL of the image to be displayed.
  • <audio> Element:The <audio> element is used to embed audio files into a web page. It requires the src attribute that specifies the URL of the audio file to be played. Other attributes like controls, autoplay, and loop can be used to specify different playback options.
  • <video> Element :The <video> element is used to embed video files into a web page. It requires the src attribute that specifies the URL of the video file to be played. Other attributes like controls, autoplay, loop, width, and height can be used to specify different playback options and dimensions.
  • <source> Element :The <source> element is used inside the <audio> and <video> elements to specify multiple sources for media content. This is useful for providing fallback options for different formats and codecs.
  • <iframe> Element :The <iframe> element is used to embed content from another web page or application into a web page. It requires the src attribute that specifies the URL of the external content to be embedded. This is useful for embedding maps, social media content, and other types of web content.
