# Video

The component for adding a video.

```
object Video
```

## Discussion

Use the `video` component to add a video to your article by specifying a video URL. Users can control playback and watch the video from inside the article. You can also include an image to display when the video is not playing. To include a video from Dailymotion, Vimeo, or YouTube, use the [`EmbedWebVideo`](/documentation/AppleNewsFormat/EmbedWebVideo) component instead of the `video` component.

See <doc://com.apple.applenews/documentation/AppleNews/preparing-image-video-audio-music-and-arkit-assets>.
