title: Open video in default media player in HTML
body: <p>I am trying to open a video in my default media player. I have inserted video hyperlinks in my HTML document.</p>
  
  <p>When I click on the hyperlink, instead of opening the video, it downloads the video.</p>
  
  <p>I want the hyperlink to open the video in the user's default media player without downloading the video.</p>
  
  <p>This is what I have so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="file://F:\Users\Public\Videos\Sample Videos\Wildlife.wmv"&gt;Example tutorial video&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please advise. Thank you.</p>
