<video controls>
<source src='https://dhaka.b-cdn.net/f608b4f4-9107-4497-8945-efb34fcd1cd1.mp4' />
</video>This is the general basis for the <video> tag that I found on the NextJS [documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/optimizing/videos):
export function Video() {
return (
<video width="320" height="240" controls preload="none">
<source src="/path/to/video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<track
src="/path/to/captions.vtt"
kind="subtitles"
srcLang="en"
label="English"
/>
Your browser does not support the video tag.

}I think you're missing width and height
also, are there any serverside or client side errors that come up?

my video is in mp4 format hosted in server
i works fine on videos tags on normal html but not in next
