Not really related to this thread, but to answer your question.... As
far as I know you need to install the TurboPowerIPro package into
Lazarus. This then enables HTML info box in the Object Inspector, and
enable HTML hints windows in the source code editor.

At the time I found Animated GIF's sufficient for the task (the wiki
page), and they were very easy to create and ALL browsers (new and old)
support Animated GIF's.

I personally think the W3C really failed us all with the VIDEO tag - by
not specifying a specific codec for the HTML5 standard.

But if you must go the way of embedded videos, I would suggest a truly
open standard codec and container format. For that reason I would
recommend OGV files with Ogg Vorbis encoding for sound and Ogg Theora
encoding for video.

My other choice would be WebM.

Either way, definitely not MPEG anything.
