Sphinxcontrib Video

sphinxcontrib-video is a Sphinx extension that allows developers and technical writers to embed HTML5 videos (MP4, WebM, Ogg) directly into their Sphinx-generated documentation. It acts as a wrapper around the HTML5 `<video>` tag, exposing most of its parameters as directive options. The library is actively maintained, with the current stable version being 0.4.2, released on January 14, 2026, and typically follows a periodic release cadence.
