# Video (H5P.Video)

A video player, a part other content holds: in a page, a book, a slide or a scenario. Not a content type on its own; Interactive Video is the one with questions over a video.

- `sources` is the video: a file beside the source (`.mp4`, `.webm`), a web address of one, or the address of a video on YouTube, Vimeo, Panopto or Echo360, which plays from there and shares the viewing with that site.
- Captions: `a11y`, `[{ "label": "English", "kind": "captions", "srcLang": "en", "track": { "path": "captions.vtt" } }]`.

## Example

```json
{
  "type": "H5P.Column",
  "params": {
    "content": [
      { "content": { "library": "H5P.Video", "params": { "sources": [{ "path": "clip.mp4" }], "a11y": [{ "label": "English", "kind": "captions", "srcLang": "en", "track": { "path": "captions.vtt" } }] } } }
    ]
  }
}
```
