VideoStreamPlayer
=================

**Inherits:** :ref:`Control<class_Control>` **<** :ref:`CanvasItem<class_CanvasItem>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A control used for video playback.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

A control used for playback of :ref:`VideoStream<class_VideoStream>` resources.

Supported video formats are `Ogg Theora <https://www.theora.org/>`__ (``.ogv``, :ref:`VideoStreamTheora<class_VideoStreamTheora>`) and any format exposed via a GDExtension plugin.

\ **Note:** Due to a bug, VideoStreamPlayer does not support localization remapping yet.

\ **Warning:** On Web, video playback *will* perform poorly due to missing architecture-specific assembly optimizations.

----

.. _class_VideoStreamPlayer_method_is_playing:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_playing** **(** **)** |const|

----

.. _class_VideoStreamPlayer_method_play:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **play** **(** **)**

Starts the video playback from the beginning. If the video is paused, this will not unpause the video.
