how to change a preview for html5 video?
I need to show custom image, when user clicks on it video is playing.
<video controls="controls">
<source src="1.webm" type="video/webm">
<source src="1.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

add poster attribut to video tag...
<video controls="controls" poster="url_to_img.jpg">
<source src="1.webm" type="video/webm">
<source src="1.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

to set the preview of the HTML5 video you must know about poster attribute in video tag.
So it should look something like this
<video width=blah height=blah poster=blah >

Video doesn't play on site but it does somewhere else

I'm working on a website with a HTML5 video tag. The video doesn't play on the website. But if I test it somewhere else, it plays without a problem.

My code is here:
<video class="video-splash__video" width="720" height="405" autoplay="" poster="http://carflow-staging.houston-1.hybridmedia.be/wp-content/themes/framework_wp/img/videoCarflowBackground.png">
<source src="http://carflow-staging.houston-1.hybridmedia.be/wp-content/themes/framework_wp/video/videoCarflowBackground.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="http://carflow-staging.houston-1.hybridmedia.be/wp-content/themes/framework_wp/video/videoCarflowBackground.ogg" type="video/ogg">
<source src="http://carflow-staging.houston-1.hybridmedia.be/wp-content/themes/framework_wp/video/videoCarflowBackground.webm" type="video/webm">
Your browser does not support the video tag or the file format of this video.

What could be the issue?

Why does my video only play sound and no video?

Just wondering if anyone can tell me hy this is happening. When I play the video I can hear the audio but the video doesn't show. Heres my code, im a beginner
<video id = "videoplayer" width ="480" height = "270" poster = "../images/video.jpg" controls>
<source src = "../media/overwatch.mp4">
<video>
Try to use this default snippet - I think you missed the type of the video and check the src!
For more info read this.
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">

video tag is not working in chrome

I have video in .mp4 format. and I want show that in my html page, For that I use following tag
<video controls="controls" class="video-ctrl">
<source src="~/Content/Vedio/Care.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>
This is worked in firefox, but not worked in chrome.
You need webm file to play video on webpage.
Example code below:
<video controls="controls" class="video-ctrl">
<source src="http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.webm " type="video/webm" controls>
</video>

</video>
Add the autoplay at the end of the Video TAG
<video loop preload="auto" poster="https://v.cdn.vine.co/r/thumbs/6E3D5C44EF971106677480906752_1b2782bf8bc.3.1.mp4_4k51O7l0pibzJwSKxYQnhzNhClScxGOtyylyyd97BYQc._hwWqToJivTuKAp7nE0.jpg?versionId=RbNdo0ARrcYsa1ETobYaSkGe_gyX535k" controls autoplay>

</video>
you need controls and/or autoplay
<video autoplay controls loop preload="auto"> ... </video>
