Looking for help posting a video
The video runs smoothly on my computer.
I tried the following in markdown with disappointing results
video width=“640” height=“480” controls\>
source src=“/video/…” type=“video/mp4” type=“video/mp4”\>
/video\>
EDIT: removed \< from each line to prevent empty video box. I know they are needed! 😉
What is the correct way to place a video?

How are you viewing it on your computer.
This is very unlikely related to zola. Most likely a browser issue.

Thank-you for pointing out it could be a browser issue. Sure enough, it is working in Firefox but not in Vivaldi
I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my question
