The <embed> tag in HTML is used for embedding external applications which are generally multimedia content like audio or video into an HTML document. It is used as a container for embedding plug-ins such as Flash animations. This tag is a new tag in HTML 5, and it requires only a starting tag.
Note: Modern browsers don’t support <embed>, Java Applets, ActiveX controls, and Shockwave Flash. Use Standard Elements Instead: Prefer <img> for images, <iframe> for HTML, <video>, and <audio> for displaying video or audio content.
