Is it possible to embed a webm file in Github readme?

Tags:

github

I would like to embed a webm file in my github readme instead of a gif since webm takes a lot less memory.

I tried use the same code which is used to embed gifs but it doesn't work

Can you embed a video in GitHub README?

With the latest update all you have to do is open your markdown editor in GitHub and just drag your media into the editor and it should be added to your README.

How do I embed a video into readme MD?

You just drag your video file on your laptop or pc to the markdown file in Github. Done. Easy peasy. Before this, I can embed the video either change it to the gif or create a new file and reference it to the README file.

Well, We can't upload the Video but you get similar results. The thing is GitHub READMEs work perfectly with GIFs. GIF is a bitmap graphical image format. So what you get isn't necessarily a video but the result is relatively similar.

If You want to convert video into gif just go to following CloudConvert

Then simply add the GIF in your README.md file the same way you would add an image
