Upload a video on HTML a web page

Inside the <video> element, create a <source> element. Don't add any attributes yet.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>HTML Video and Audio</title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="normalize.css">
    <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nunito:400,300' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css">
  </head>
  <body>

    <h1>HTML Video and Audio</h1>

    <div class="wrapper">

      <!-- Add your code below this line -->
      <video src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge.mp4">

    </div>

You have to add the <source> element inside the opening and closing video tags. So: <video><source></video>
