 Thanks to the awesome folks over at [Fastly][fastly], there's a free, CDN hosted version of Video.js that anyone can use. Add these tags to your document's `<head>`:
 
 ```html

 Alternatively, you can include Video.js by getting it from [npm](https://videojs.com/getting-started/#install-via-npm), downloading it from [GitHub releases](https://github.com/videojs/video.js/releases) or by including it via [unpkg](https://unpkg.com) or another JavaScript CDN, like CDNjs.

 Next, using Video.js is as simple as creating a `<video>` element, but with an additional `data-setup` attribute. At a minimum, this attribute must have a value of `'{}'`, but it can include any Video.js [options][options] - just make sure it contains valid JSON!
