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

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

Control for playing video streams.

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

Control node for playing video streams using :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 HTML5, video playback *will* perform poorly due to missing architecture-specific assembly optimizations.
