Summary

In this chapter, you’ve learned ways to include media on your page using the audio and video elements and the many attributes that give you control over how the media are displayed. You’ve also seen the Media API, which allows deep interaction with media elements, and the broad range of events that are fired by media interactions.

I also touched on the future audio APIs—a subject I would like to have gone into more, but the uncertain landscape prevents me from doing so. Finally, I talked about the WebRTC project, an exciting set of APIs that aim to provide amazing new ways for us to swap video, voice, and data between devices without third-party plug-ins, and a project that really deserves a book of its own.
