HTML <embed> Tag
The embed element creates a container for an external resource, such as a web page, image, media player, or plug-in programmer.
The HTML <embed> tag is an HTML5 element used as a container for embedding external content such as an external programmer or a browser plug-in. Because of compatibility concerns, the <object> tag is more typically used to embed resources than the <embed> tag. This tag is sometimes referred to as the embed element.
