My type attribute is wrong?

I'm confused as to what I am missing.

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>
      <source src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge.mp4"
              type="video.mp4">
      </video>

    </div>

  </body>
</html>

Hey Bethany,

You are very close, but you used a . instead of a / when declaring the type. It should be 

type="video/mp4"

Keep Coding! :)

In stead of video.mp4, you need to slash ( / ) video/mp4 like this =)

Best answer if this helped you =)
