# Video

## Video Overview

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note that video files can be quite large and might exceed the 50 MB [size limit](/snap-to-place/projects/assets.md#app-size-limits-50-mb-per-app) for your project. 
{% endhint %}

The Video component lets you play videos in your app that are stored in the cloud or in your app. App users can easily pause, rewind or fast-forward the video with the built in player.

## Set Video

There are a few ways you can set a video source in your app:

1. **Upload a video to your app.** Be careful of the Thunkable 50 MB [app size limit](/snap-to-place/projects/assets.md#app-size-limits-50-mb-per-app)
2. **Provide a link to the video.** The link has to end in `.mp4`, `.mov`, …so videos uploaded to YouTube and other video sharing sites may not work.

Please note that the Video component is not recommended for streaming live video content. 

## Edit Video size

You can set how tall the Video is using the `height` property and set how wide it is using the `width` property.

**`Height`**

* **Fill container (default)-** The Video fills the entire screen vertically
* **Fit contents -** The Video’s height changes to fit the contents it contains
* **Relative size -** The Video fills the specified percentage of the screen
* **Absolute size -** Sizes the Video to a specified number of pixels

**`Width`**

* **Fill container (default) -** The Video fills the entire screen horizontally
* **Fit contents -** The Video’s width changes to fit the contents it contains
* **Relative size -** The Video fills the specified percentage of the screen
* **Absolute -** Sizes the Video to a specified number of pixels

## Set to Auto-Play
