rails link_to video not working

I had this line of code in my html.erb file in the static folder:

<a href="<%= video['link'] %>" role="tab" data-toggle="tab"><%= video['caption'] %></a>

I changed it to:

<%= link_to video['link'], video['caption'], role: 'tab', data: { toggle: 'tab' } %>

Now my video is not loading and the caption is showing up as the URL of the video. Can anybody tell me what's going on here.

Thanks.

link_to helper take display text as first parameter and url as second parameter. So 

<%= link_to video['caption'], video['link'], role: 'tab', data: { toggle: 'tab' } %>

Or if you need formatted html instead of plain text, try something like

<%= link_to video['link'], role: 'tab', data: { toggle: 'tab' } do %>
   <b><%= video[:caption] %></b>
<% end %>

I figured it out:

You change it to:

<%= link_to video['caption'], video['link'], role: 'tab', data: { toggle: 'tab' } %>
