Hey Henrique!

Is this what you're trying to do?

<video width="320" height="240" controls>
    <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
    Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

You can see the example here: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp

Cheers, Dan.
