The [video] tag is used to embed an HTML5 video in a post.

The supported video formats are:

1. webm / gifv
2. ogg / ogv
3. mp4

The video extension is used by the server to determine the video type, so ensure the embedded video has the correct extension (it also must be lowercase). Imgur's .gifv extension can also be used in [img] tags.

Optional parameters

You can pass the optional gif parameter to the [video] tag to make it behave like a normal GIF (i.e. with the parameters autoplay, muted and loop enabled). Webm should be preferred upon GIF where possible, as it supports much better quality animation in less size.

Example: [video=gif]http://foo.bar/video.webm[/video]
