Though the idea of a video-specific HTML element was suggested well over a decade ago, we re only just beginning to see this come to fruition! Forget all of that  HTML5 2012  mumbo-jumbo; the truth is that you can use the video element in your projects right now! The only problem is that the video players are inconsistent from browser to browser, and full-screen support is, at the time of this writing, only available in certain browsers, via a right-click. Further, what if we want to brand our video player? Unfortunately, there isn t an easy way to do so by default. The solution is to create a custom player that remedies all of these issues.
