# A `<Video>` component for React Native
## About
`react-native-video` is a React Native library that provides a Video component that renders media content such as videos and streams
## Alpha Information
> ⚠️ **Version 6 Alpha**: The following documentation may refer to features only available through the v6.0.0 alpha releases, [please see version 5.2.x](https://github.com/react-native-video/react-native-video/blob/v5.2.0/README.md) for the current documentation!
Version 6.x recommends react-native >= 0.68.2.
For older versions of react-native, [please use version 5.x](https://github.com/react-native-video/react-native-video/tree/v5.2.0).
## Usage
```javascript
// Load the module
import Video, {VideoRef} from 'react-native-video';
// Within your render function, assuming you have a file called
// "background.mp4" in your project. You can include multiple videos
// on a single screen if you like.
const VideoPlayer = () => {
const videoRef = useRef<VideoRef>(null);
const background = require('./background.mp4');
return (
<Video
// Can be a URL or a local file.
source={background}
// Store reference
ref={videoRef}
// Callback when remote video is buffering
onBuffer={onBuffer}
// Callback when video cannot be loaded
onError={onError}
style={styles.backgroundVideo}
/>
)
}
// Later on in your styles..
var styles = StyleSheet.create({
backgroundVideo: {
position: 'absolute',
top: 0,
left: 0,
bottom: 0,
right: 0,
},
});
```

Please view the [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md) for specific breaking changes.
