A note about inline videos
When a video is included in a web page, it is called an inline video.
If you plan to use inline video in a web application, you need to be aware that many people find inline video annoying.
Also note that users may have turned off the inline video option in their browser.
Our best advice is to only include inline videos in places where users expect to see them. A positive example is when a user needs to see a video and clicks on a link, which opens the page and then plays the video.
