Hi Natalia,

<video width="100%" height="100%" controls>
<source src="jack_giant.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="jack_giant.ogg" type="video/ogg">
<source src="jack_giant.webm" type="video/webm">
<object data="jack_giant.mp4" width="100%" height="100%">
<embed src="jack_giant.swf" width="100%" height="100%">
</object>
</video>
