CUSTOMISING AND EMBEDDING MULTIMEDIA                                                       2


                                   COMPONENTS IN WEB PAGES










                 The use of a combination of text, music, video, graphics, and
                 animation to convey information in an engaging and dynamic
                 way is known as multimedia. In other ways, multimedia can
                 be  defined  as  a  computerised  technique  of  information
                 presentation that combines textual data, audio, images
                 (video), graphics, and animations. E-mail, WhatsApp
                 Messenger, video conferencing, and multi-media messaging
                 service(MMS) are some examples.

                 As the name implies, multimedia is the combination of the words multi and media, meaning it
                 uses a variety of media (hardware and software) to transmit information.
