 - `loop=true` - automatically seek back to the start upon reaching the end of the video
 - `muted=true` - audio will be initially silenced
+- `types` - specify the extensions of additional video formats separated by `|`. Ensure these files exist in the same directory as your primary video file.

+## Audios
+
+### Audio File
+
+If you want to embed an audio file directly, use the following syntax:
+
+```liquid
+{% include embed/audio.html src='{URL}' %}
+```
+
+Where `URL` is an URL to an audio file e.g. `/assets/img/sample/audio.mp3`.
+
+You can also specify additional attributes for the embedded audio file. Here is a full list of attributes allowed.
+
+- `title='Text'` - title for an audio that appears below the audio and looks same as for images
+- `types` - specify the extensions of additional audio formats separated by `|`. Ensure these files exist in the same directory as your primary audio file.
