embed/include video

[davidmeza1]

Is there a way to include a video, similar to include_graphics, where the video is contained in a folder within the book.

At the moment, it is not straightforward to embed a local video file for PDF output. If you only need the HTML output, you can simply use htmltools::tags$video(src = ...), otherwise the only possibility is to upload the video somewhere like Youtube, and use knitr::include_url() to embed it, e.g.

```{r}
knitr::include_url("https://www.youtube.com/embed/9bZkp7q19f0")
```
