Hi @flycoders_sourav

If you want to play video in your application try **streaming-media** for IOS and Android both,  
It will play video on your default video player of the device.

> **[Ionic Framework](https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/streaming-media/)**

thanks

Hi, @flycoders_sourav

No,  
In video tag, all the controls will not work properly on all the devices. Moreover, iframe will work only with Android. So it would be better to go with the media stream.

```auto
<video width="400" controls>
  <source src="mov_bbb.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

```

```auto
<iframe src="mov_bbb.mp4">
  <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>

```

thanks,
