Tag <video> controlling by javascript

Question

How do I so that when I click on the video it starts uploading, because I’m not getting if anyone can help thank you.

Here’s the code snippet from the video:

<div class="video">
   <video class="video" loop controls tabindex="0">
      <source src="video/nome_do_video.mp4"/>
   </video>
</div>

The method name is play(), however, you should access it from the DOM tree because it is not a Jquery method but a DOM Object method.

jQuery( document ).ready(function($) {
    $('video.video').click(function() {
        $(this).get(0).paused ? $(this).get(0).play() : $(this).get(0).pause();
    });
});

In this script, if the video is paused, the action of play(), otherwise it shall be paused.
