The video tag now supports some attributes of the HTML <video> element: autoplay, controls, loop, muted, poster, preload

(video: local-video.mp4 autoplay: true)
(video: local-video.mp4 controls: false autoplay: true loop: true)
(video: local-video.mp4 poster: cover.jpg)

These new attributes are not supported by video providers such as YouTube and Vimeo.

Version 2's youtube and vimeo tags

To keep your content compatible with older Kirby versions, we still have the old youtube and vimeo KirbyTags. We recommend switching to the new video tag though.
