Inserting video with <video> element, instead of <embed>

When inserting video in Telerik Editor, radEditor by default inserts it using <embed>.
This element is not supported by Edge. Many modern browsers now support/recommend to use of the <video> tag.
So, that it will render video in most of Chromium browsers out there.

Hi David,

Great news — we have implemented the requested feature. Starting with the 2026 Q1 SP2 release of Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX (expected late April 2026), the RadEditor's MediaManager dialog will output HTML5 <video> and <audio> elements instead of the legacy <object>/<embed> tags for browser-supported media formats (MP4, WebM, OGV, MP3, WAV, OGG).

Key highlights:

  • Selecting an MP4, WebM, or OGV file now inserts a <video> element with the correct MIME type
  • Selecting an MP3, WAV, or OGG file inserts an <audio> element
  • The Properties tab exposes HTML5 media attributes: controls, autoplay, loop, muted, and preload
  • Legacy formats (WMV, AVI, WMA, etc.) continue to use <object>/<embed> for backward compatibility
  • The FileExplorer search patterns now include .mp4, .webm, .ogg, .ogv, and .oga by default

Thank you for the valuable feedback that helped us modernize this functionality.
