Text in Video Tag

Hello Everyone!

I’m adding some videos to my website, and as I looked at example code from other people, I saw that many of them had text inside the video tag. A lot of it was along the lines of “This video isn’t supported in your browser.” Here is what the code looked like.

<video> <source src="someLink"> This video isn't supported in your browser! </video>

Does this text display when the browser doesn’t support the VIDEO TAG or the actual VIDEO? I just want to know what prompts it to appear.

Thank you!
