How do insert an mp4 video into the report?

Description

Can you help me with inserting an .mp4 video into the report? I've tried the following methods, and none of them seem to work.

{=html}
<video controls>
  <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

{{< video video.mp4 >}}

Thank you.

I'm afraid this does not help us understand the issue.
Did you try using the latest 1.4 pre-release? If yes, please provide a self-contained reproducible example, i.e., a complete Quarto document or a Git repository? Thanks.

You can share a Quarto document using the following syntax, i.e., using more backticks than you have in your document (usually four ````).

````qmd
---
title: "Reproducible Quarto Document"
format: html
engine: knitr
---

This is a reproducible Quarto document using `format: html`.
It is written in Markdown and contains embedded R code.
When you run the code, it will produce a plot.

```{r}
plot(cars)
```

Im using quarto 1.3.433 and I trying everything from https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/videos.html :(

1. 1.3.433 is not the latest stable version
2. Quoting myself: "Did you try using the latest 1.4 pre-release?"

Not possible, as we use a shared VM.

So I am afraid your are stuck until you upgrade.

The issue was fixed v1.4.185 (#5496)
