How can I add custom controls to HTML5 video and audio?

You can create custom controls by using JavaScript to manipulate the video or audio element. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a simple code example.

Sure! Here's a basic example:

<video id="myVideo" width="320" height="240" controls>
  <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
<button onclick="playVideo()">Play</button>
<button onclick="pauseVideo()">Pause</button>

<script>
function playVideo() {
  var video = document.getElementById('myVideo');
  video.play();
}
function pauseVideo() {
  var video = document.getElementById('myVideo');
  video.pause();
}
</script>

How do I style these custom controls with CSS?

You can style the buttons using CSS. For example:

button {
  background-color: #4CAF50;
  color: white;
  padding: 10px 20px;
  border: none;
  cursor: pointer;
}
button:hover {
  background-color: #45a049;
}
