How do I get my embed tag to display videos instead of downloading them?

Question

My embed tag keeps downloading the video instead of displaying it.

I have tried changing the file type of the tag, but it just downloads it in a different format. I want the tag to display the video. Here's my code below.

<embed type="video/mp4" src="videos/ymcaHome.mp4" width="400" height="300">

You can do so by specifying the video url or the path as the src attribute value. Like this:

<embed src="your_video_file_url.mp4" type="video/mp4" with="640" height="360">
