Not allowed to load local resource Microsoft Edge

Question

So I am trying to load a video from my files and play it on my html window. But when I load the site, the video does not play and the console tells me that I am not allowed to load a local resource. Here is my current html code to play the video:

<video controls>
    <source src="C:/users/zacle/Documents/VideoPlayer/uploads/SpideyZac.mp4">
</video>

Can anyone help me get rid of this error and actually play my video.

Running you project from http means having a http server and running your project via http://localhost .
