# Video Playback
***
## About
PlayCanvas Toolkit comes with an integrated Video Player, allowing creators to place Videos inside their VIVERSE Worlds — both as flat screens and 360 spheres! The Video file can be hosted both inside PlayCanvas project or external URL, and supports autoplay, looping and muting, as well as positional sound. In addition, the Toolkit comes with convenient Media Control component, which enables the Player to control Video playback while experiencing your 3D World.
## Usage
Please refer to instructions below to setup a Video Entity in your VIVERSE World, with optional Media Control component:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Create Video Entity
* Create a new empty Entity in your Scene
* Click **Add Viverse Component** button and select **Rendering > Video Texture**
* If you did everything correctly - you should see a **viverseVideoTexture** script attached to your Entity
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Setup Video asset or URL
* Upload Video asset to your PlayCanvas project
* Drag and drop it into **Asset** attribute of **viverseVideoTexture** script
* Now you should see the first frame of your Video in PlayCanvas Editor!
* As alternative, you can use public URL as a Video source
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Adjust and Test
* Adjust your Entity's **Position**, **Rotation** and **Scale** to match Video's aspect ratio and desired position / orientation in your Scene
* Launch your Scene and confirm that the Video is playing as expected
* Please note that muted Videos can play automatically, but unmuted ones requires user's interaction with the page to start playing
* Feel free to adjust other attributes like **Render Side**, **Auto Play**, **Loop**, **Muted**, **Volume** and **Positional Sound**, as you see fit
* Also feel free to experiment with **Projection** attribute, since it allows playing 360 videos on a spherical surface!
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Optional: Add Controls
* With your Entity selected, click **Add Viverse Component** button and choose **Helper > Media Control**
* Relaunch your Scene once again — now when you hover over your Video Entity you can see Media Controls and interact with them!
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.viverse.com/playcanvas-toolkit/building-with-playcanvas-toolkit/video-playback.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
