Output LaTeX code to a file format that can embed videos

Question

Which file format can I compile my LaTeX code (Beamer) to that works with slide shows and supports embedding videos? I know you could use PDFs previously but they are no longer supported due to the death of Flash.

Answer 1

the following example is taken from the answer https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/595106/36296 thus I'll post this as community wiki

One can use the media4svg to produce svgs with embedded media like movies etc.

\documentclass[dvisvgm,hypertex,aspectratio=169]{beamer}
\usepackage[british]{babel}

\usefonttheme{serif}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage{media4svg}
\usepackage{menukeys,siunitx,calc}

           }%  
           try{clearTimeout(cursorTimer);}catch(err){};%

\begin{frame}[fragile]{Player control}

The standard player controls (option `\verb+controls+') take a lot of space of the media display. Therefore, it is not recommended to enable them. Nevertheless, interactivity is still provided through touch or left mouse button click, and through the keyboard as summarized in the table.

Click on the media display to start playback. To pause playback, press the left mouse button on the media display. Release it to resume playback. To pause playback permanently, press the left mouse button on the media display and move the mouse out while keeping the button pressed.
