+# Video
+
+The Video component allows you to easily add videos to your custom blocks without needing to manually worry about loading states etc. It renders a `<MediaPlaceholder />` component in place of the video if the id is not set and shows a spinner when the video is still loading.
+
+## Usage
+
+```js
+import { Video } from '@10up/block-components';
+
+function BlockEdit(props) {
+    const { attributes, setAttributes } = props;
+    const { videoId } = attributes;
+
+    function handlevideoSelect( video ) {
+        setAttributes({videoId: video.id});
+    }
+
+    return (
+        <Video
+            id={videoId}
+            className="my-video"
+            size="full"
+            onSelect={handlevideoSelect}
+            labels={{
+                title: 'Select looping background video',
+                instructions: 'Upload a media file or pick one from your media library.'
+            }}
+			autoPlay={true}
+			loop={true}
+			muted={true}
+			controls={false}
+        />
+    )
+}
+```
+
+If you'd like to make an Inspector control for this video, use `VideoControl` instead.
+
+```js
+import { Video } from '@10up/block-components';
+
+function BlockEdit(props) {
+    const { attributes, setAttributes } = props;
+    const { videoId } = attributes;
+
+    function handlevideoSelect( video ) {
+        setAttributes({videoId: video.id});
+    }
+
+    return (
+        <Video
+            id={videoId}
+            className="my-video"
+            size="full"
+            onSelect={handlevideoSelect}
+            labels={{
+                title: 'Select looping background video',
+                instructions: 'Upload a media file or pick one from your media library.'
+            }}
+        />
+    )
+}
+```
+
+While you can set the same `autoPlay`, `loop`, and `muted` properties to the `Video` or `VideoControl` directly, you can also allow the user to control these settings by passing a `onChangeVideoOptions` callback, and a `videoOptions` setting object:
+
+```js
+import { Video } from '@10up/block-components';
+
+function BlockEdit(props) {
+    const { attributes, setAttributes } = props;
+    const {
+		videoId,
+		videoOptions = {
+			playsInline: true,
+			controls: true,
+			muted: true,
+			autoPlay: false,
+			loop: false,
+		}
+	} = attributes;
+
+    function handleVideoSelect( video ) {
+        setAttributes({videoId: video.id});
+    }
+
+	function handleChangeVideoOptions( options ) {
+		setAttributes({videoOptions: options});
+	}
+
+    return (
+        <Video
+            id={videoId}
+            className="my-video"
+            size="full"
+            onSelect={handleVideoSelect}
+            labels={{
+                title: 'Select looping background video',
+                instructions: 'Upload a media file or pick one from your media library.'
+            }}
+        />
+    )
+}
+```
+
+
+
+##
+
+> **Note**
+> In order to get the same result as the GIF you also need to use the [`MediaToolbar`](https://github.com/10up/block-components/tree/develop/components/media-toolbar) component. It adds the Replace flow to the Blocks Toolbar.
+
+## Props
+
+| Name       | Type              | Default  |  Description                                                   |
+| ---------- | ----------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `id` | `number`    | `null`   | video ID          |
+| `onSelect` | `Function` | `null` | Callback that gets called with the new video when one is selected |
+| `size` | `string` | `large` | Name of the video size to be displayed |
+| `labels` | `object` | `{}` | Pass in an object of labels to be used by the `MediaPlaceholder` component under the hook. Allows the sub properties `title` and `instructions` |
+| `canEditVideo` | `boolean` | `true` | whether or not the video can be edited by in the context its getting viewed. Controls whether a placeholder or upload controls should be shown when no video is present |
+| `...rest` | `*` | `null` | any additional attributes you want to pass to the underlying `img` tag |
