How do you add a video using the <video> tags using an external link? I tried the following:

XML

<video id="vid1" preload="auto" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/hqiNL4Hn04A">

</video>

I dont always want a youtube video. I need any external video link, so if you can find another that's fine I just want to be able to have something!

Many thanks
