In this quick start, you'll learn how to add the Video widget to an HTML project using HTML markup and jQuery script.

  1. To create a new HTML page in your favorite text editor, add the following code and save the document with an .html extension.

    Drop down and copy markup

  2. Add links to the dependencies to your HTML page within the <head> tags. Find the latest dependencies in the content delivery network (CDN) file at wijmo cdn.

    Drop down and copy references to paste inside the head tags

  3. Add the following markup within the <body> tags to create the widget. The <video> element creates the video widget; its id option is set to 'vid1', which we call in the jQuery script to initialize the widget. We also set the height and width of the video player here so that the page allocates space for it. The <source> elements set up two alternate formats. The browser uses the first recognized format. We can also add text to the <video> element to display in browsers that do not support HTML5.

  4. Within the <head> tags, below the references, add the following script to initialize the widget and customize it.
    • The button that allows users to expand the video to full screen is hidden.
    • The controls are set to always show instead of only when the user's mouse is over the player.

    Drop down and copy script to paste inside the head tags

  5. Save your HTML file and open it in a browser. The widget appears like the following live widget. Click the Play button to see the video play.
