+# Add a background video
+
+Add an accessible background video from an MP4, WebM, HLS, or Mux source
+
+Add a decorative video behind your page content. Start with an MP4 or WebM file, which browsers can play directly. If your video is delivered as HLS, use the HLS or Mux option below.
+
+## Recommended approach
+
+Use [BackgroundVideo](../reference/components/background-video.md) with an MP4 or WebM URL. Put the video and poster inside a wrapper with `aria-hidden="true"` because both are decorative. Keep the heading, links, and other page content outside that wrapper.
+
+**App.tsx**
+
+```tsx
+import { BackgroundVideo } from '@videojs/react/media/background-video';
+
+export default function BasicUsage() {
+  return (
+    <section className="add-background-video-react-demo">
+      <div className="add-background-video-react-demo__visual" aria-hidden="true">
+        <img className="add-background-video-react-demo__poster" src="https://image.mux.com/601n4w1fq88NJiVpzvrQQeQfNnnjjfKMIN7dCGAEarTs/thumbnail.webp" alt="" />
+        <BackgroundVideo className="add-background-video-react-demo__media" src="https://stream.mux.com/601n4w1fq88NJiVpzvrQQeQfNnnjjfKMIN7dCGAEarTs/highest.mp4" />

+}
+
+@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
+  .add-background-video-react-demo__media {
+    display: none;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## How it works
+
+BackgroundVideo renders the browser’s `<video>` element and starts it muted, looped, autoplaying, and inline. The example puts that video and an empty-alt poster in the `.hero-visual` wrapper. The wrapper is hidden from assistive technology and ignores pointer input, so it does not act like a media player.
+
+The page defines the hero’s size. The video fills that space with `--media-object-fit: cover`, while the poster remains visible until the video paints a frame. The reduced-motion rule hides the video and leaves the poster in place.
+
+Set the size, position, and transforms on the `.hero-visual` wrapper so the poster and video stay together.
+
+## Availability and constraints
+
+- Use a source the browser can play directly, such as MP4 or WebM.
+- Safari can play HLS URLs directly. Other browsers cannot do so reliably, so use an HLS variation below when the same `.m3u8` URL must work across browsers.
+- BackgroundVideo does not create a poster or report analytics. Keep the poster in your page and add analytics only when you need them.
+- Video.js does not apply a reduced-motion policy for you. The example stops the decoration with `prefers-reduced-motion`.
+- If the video communicates information, remove `aria-hidden`, give it an accessible name and controls, and use a regular video player.
+
+## Common variations
+
+Choose a variation based on the source you already have:
+
+| Need | Use |
+| --- | --- |
+| Cross-browser HLS with a small background-only player | [HlsBackgroundVideo](../reference/components/hls-background-video.md) |
+| The same background-only player for a Mux HLS URL | [MuxBackgroundVideo](../reference/components/mux-background-video.md) |
+
+### Play an HLS video
+
+HlsBackgroundVideo plays an HLS video without adding controls, audio, or captions. Pass a complete HLS URL through `src`:
+
+```bash
+pnpm add @videojs/react @videojs/spf
+```
+
+```tsx
+import { HlsBackgroundVideo } from '@videojs/react/media/hls-background-video';
+
+<HlsBackgroundVideo
+  className="hero-media"
+  src="https://media.example.com/hero.m3u8"
+  crossOrigin="anonymous"
+  onError={() => console.error('The background stream could not play')}
+/>
+```
+
+Your HLS stream must be unencrypted and use fragmented MP4 video segments, also called fMP4 or CMAF. The component chooses one video size when playback starts and does not switch sizes later. It cannot play older MPEG-TS segments.
+
+### Play a Mux HLS URL
+
+MuxBackgroundVideo is a Mux-named alias for HlsBackgroundVideo. Pass a complete Mux HLS URL, not a bare playback ID or `source` object:
+
+It uses the same `@videojs/spf` installation shown for HlsBackgroundVideo above.
+
+```tsx
+import { MuxBackgroundVideo } from '@videojs/react/media/mux-background-video';
+
+<MuxBackgroundVideo
+  className="hero-media"
+  src="https://stream.mux.com/PLAYBACK_ID.m3u8?max_resolution=720p"
+  crossOrigin="anonymous"
+/>
+```
+
+This component does not create a Mux poster, preview thumbnails, or analytics session. Keep the poster in your page and add analytics separately when you need them.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### An HLS URL works in Safari but not another browser
+
+BackgroundVideo hands its `src` to the browser’s `<video>` element. Use HlsBackgroundVideo for a supported fMP4 HLS source, or MuxBackgroundVideo for a Mux HLS URL.
+
+### The video does not fill or follow transforms
+
+Set the size, transforms, and measurements on the wrapper that contains the video and poster. Size the background-video component to fill that wrapper.
+
+### No poster or Mux analytics appear
+
+The background-video components do not provide them. Render an empty-alt poster in the same wrapper as the video, and add analytics separately.

+# Browser support
+
+Browsers and rendering environments supported by Video.js 10, and what the stylesheets need from them
+
+Video.js 10 supports the **latest two stable versions** of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and Safari on iOS. This page shows the versions that means today, what the packaged skins need from a browser, and how to reach older ones.
+
+## Browser baseline
+
+The build reads the policy from a [browserslist](https://browsersl.ist) query in the repository, and this page resolves the same query when the docs are built:
+
+*Supported browsers and the versions the support policy resolves to today*
+
+| Browser | Versions |
+| --- | --- |
+| Chrome | 150 and 151 |
+| Edge | 150 and 151 |
+| Firefox | 153 and 154 |
+| Safari | 26.5 and 26.6 |
+| Safari on iOS | 26.5 and 26.6 |
+
+These are the versions we test in and fix bugs for. We build directly on the web platform, with [custom elements](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_components/Using_custom_elements), [`@scope`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@scope), [container queries](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_containment/Container_queries), and [anchor positioning](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_anchor_positioning), and we do not hold a feature back to keep older versions working. Older versions often work anyway:
+
+In practice the packaged skins render in Chrome 120, Edge 120, Firefox 146, Safari 17.4, and Safari on iOS 17.4 and later. Those versions account for 89.2% of global web usage according to [caniuse-lite](https://github.com/browserslist/caniuse-lite) 1.0.30001810, and this figure updates when we update that data.
+
+## CSS requirements
+
+The packaged skins are generated CSS, and a handful of newer features hold a skin together. **Required** features have no fallback: without them the player shows no component styling, and `@scope` alone sets the floor. **Degrades** features lose one visual detail. **Has a fallback** features sit inside [`@supports`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@supports); anchor positioning falls back to positions computed in JavaScript.
+
+The table reads the first fully supporting version of each feature from [caniuse-lite](https://github.com/browserslist/caniuse-lite) when the docs build, and feature names link to [caniuse.com](https://caniuse.com/). The **effective floor** is the newest required version in each column.
+
+*First browser version that fully supports each CSS feature the packaged skins use, with the share of global web usage on supporting browsers. Feature names link to their caniuse.com support data. "Not supported" means the browser has no full support. Paired browsers share a column and show two values only when they differ. The effective floor row is the newest required version in each column.*
+
+| Feature | Chrome and Edge | Firefox | Safari and iOS | Global support |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| [`@scope`](https://caniuse.com/css-cascade-scope) Required. No component styling. | 118 | 146 | 17.4 | 90.0% |
+| [`CSS nesting`](https://caniuse.com/css-nesting) Required. No component styling. | 120 | 117 | 17.2 | 90.7% |
+| [`@layer`](https://caniuse.com/css-cascade-layers) Required. No component styling. | 99 | 97 | 15.4 | 95.3% |
+| [`:has()`](https://caniuse.com/css-has) Required. Menu and slider focus states are lost. | 105 | 121 | 15.4 | 94.1% |
+| [`@container`](https://caniuse.com/css-container-queries) Required. Controls do not adapt to player width. | 106 | 110 | 16 | 94.0% |
+| [`Media query range syntax`](https://caniuse.com/css-media-range-syntax) Required. Large-screen sizing is lost. | 104 | 63 | 16.4 | 94.0% |
+| [`:dir()`](https://caniuse.com/css-dir-pseudo) Required. Right-to-left layout is lost. | 120 | 17 | 16.4 | 91.4% |
+| [`Relative color syntax`](https://caniuse.com/css-relative-colors) Degrades. Adaptive shadows are lost. | 131 | 133 | 18 | 85.7% |
+| [`scrollbar-color and scrollbar-width`](https://caniuse.com/css-scrollbar) Degrades. Menus show default scrollbars. | 121 | 64 | 26.2 | 85.6% |
+| [`backdrop-filter`](https://caniuse.com/css-backdrop-filter) Degrades. Surfaces lose their blur. | 76 / 17 | 103 | 9 | 95.7% |
+| [`Anchor positioning`](https://caniuse.com/css-anchor-positioning) Has a fallback. Popups are positioned by JavaScript. | 125 | 147 | 26 | 84.1% |
+| Effective floor | 120 | 146 | 17.4 | 89.2% |
+
+A few features have no caniuse entry. [`oklch()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value/oklch) is required but older than the floor (Chrome 111, Firefox 113, Safari 15.4). [`light-dark()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value/light-dark), [relative colors](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_colors/Relative_colors), [`@property`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@property), and [`contrast-color()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value/contrast-color) each degrade on their own; set `--media-accent-text-color` from [Customize skins](./customize-skins.md) if you support browsers without `contrast-color()`. [Firefox ESR](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/enterprise/) releases older than 146 lack `@scope`, so the skins render unstyled there.
+
+The JavaScript has a lower floor: ES2022 syntax, with newer APIs feature-detected, so it runs in Chrome 102, Firefox 112, and Safari 16.4 or later. The stylesheet decides whether an older browser shows a working player.
+
+### Support older browsers
+
+To reach browsers below the floor, recompile the skin stylesheet with fallbacks. Only a stylesheet your build processes can be recompiled.
+
+Skins are stylesheets you import, such as `@videojs/react/video/skin.css`, so your bundler’s CSS pipeline already sees them and nothing else changes.
+
+[lightningcss](https://lightningcss.dev/transpilation.html) and [postcss-preset-env](https://preset-env.cssdb.org/) both read a browserslist query and add what those browsers lack: they flatten nesting and rewrite `:dir()`, range media queries, `light-dark()`, and `oklch()` in ordinary declarations, and add vendor prefixes. Neither rewrites `@scope` or `:scope`, so a small plugin flattens each block into descendant selectors prefixed with [`:where(root)`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:where), which adds no specificity. The PostCSS version, picked up by Vite, Next.js, and most bundlers from `postcss.config.mjs`:
+
+```bash
+npm install --save-dev postcss postcss-preset-env postcss-selector-parser
+```
+
+**postcss.config.mjs**
+
+```js
+import presetEnv from 'postcss-preset-env';
+import selectorParser from 'postcss-selector-parser';
+
+/** Rewrite `@scope (<root>) { … }` into descendant selectors that older browsers understand. */
+function flattenScope() {
+  const rewrite = (selector, root) =>
+    selectorParser((selectors) => {
+      selectors.each((sel) => {
+        let referencesRoot = false;
+
+        sel.walk((node) => {
+          if (node.type === 'nesting' || (node.type === 'pseudo' && node.value === ':scope')) {
+            node.replaceWith(selectorParser.string({ value: root }));
+            referencesRoot = true;
+          }
+        });
+
+        if (!referencesRoot) {
+          sel.prepend(selectorParser.combinator({ value: ' ' }));
+          sel.prepend(selectorParser.string({ value: `:where(${root})` }));
+        }
+      });
+    }).processSync(selector);
+
+  return {
+    postcssPlugin: 'flatten-scope',
+    OnceExit(css) {
+      const scopes = [];
+      css.walkAtRules('scope', (atRule) => scopes.push(atRule));
+
+      // Innermost first, so a nested scope is flattened before its parent prefixes it.
+      for (const atRule of scopes.reverse()) {
+        const match = /^\(\s*(.+?)\s*\)\s*$/.exec(atRule.params);
+        if (!match || /\)\s*to\s*\(/.test(atRule.params)) continue;
+
+        atRule.walkRules((rule) => {
+          rule.selectors = rule.selectors.map((selector) => rewrite(selector.trim(), match[1]));
+        });
+        atRule.replaceWith(atRule.nodes);
+      }
+    },
+  };
+}
+flattenScope.postcss = true;
+
+export default {
+  plugins: [flattenScope(), presetEnv({ browsers: 'baseline widely available', stage: 2 })],
+};
+```
+
+The result renders in Chrome 111, Firefox 121, and Safari 16.4 or later, the floor [Tailwind CSS 4 documents](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/compatibility#browser-support), because `:has()`, `@container`, `@layer`, and `color-mix()` have no fallback. Flattening `@scope` trades scope proximity for source order; the packaged skins never nest a component inside itself, so the output matches. Run `npx browserslist "baseline widely available"` to see what the query resolves to today, or pick another query for your audience.
+
+## Rendering contexts
+
+### WebViews
+
+A WebView is a browser engine embedded inside a native app. WebViews on iOS ([WKWebView](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview)) and Android ([Android WebView](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView)) can behave differently from the full browser; autoplay policies, fullscreen APIs, and hardware acceleration can vary.
+
+Video.js 10 targets standard browser environments. If you embed a player inside a native app, test it on each platform and WebView version you support.
+
+### Progressive Web Apps
+
+Installed Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) use the browser engine, but their standalone display mode and platform policies can affect fullscreen, media sessions, and other browser integration. Test playback both in a browser tab and in the installed app.
+
+### Smart TVs and set-top boxes
+
+TV platforms run embedded browsers with limited standards support. Video.js 10’s core is not tied to any specific platform, which makes future TV adapters possible, but TV is not a supported target today.
+
+### Server-side rendering
+
+Video.js components render valid markup on the server. Interactivity — state management, media playback, and event handling — requires the browser and kicks in after hydration.

+# Build with AI
+
+Install the Video.js skill and give AI coding agents version-matched docs for building and migrating players
+
+The [Video.js skill](https://github.com/videojs/skills) gives coding agents the context they need to build, customize, debug, and migrate Video.js players. It teaches the agent how Video.js 10 is composed, then points it to documentation that matches the version installed in your project.
+
+## AI Quickstart
+
+Paste this prompt into your coding agent:
+
+```
+Install the Video.js skill: run `npx @videojs/cli agents skills` and follow the steps for the agent you are running in. If you can't run commands, follow the install instructions at https://github.com/videojs/skills instead. Then use the Video.js skill for this project. When installation details are needed, run `npx @videojs/cli agents init --framework react` to print the version-matched choices and instructions without changing files.
+```
+
+## Video.js Skill
+
+The skill contains guidance and Markdown references. It does not install Video.js, run background services, or connect to an account.
+
+### Install the skill
+
+Follow the steps for your coding agent. To print the same steps in a terminal, run:
+
+**Terminal**
+
+```sh
+npx @videojs/cli agents skills
+```
+
+Add `--agent claude-code,cursor` to print only those agents. `--scope project` or `--scope local` changes the Claude Code installation scope from its `user` default, and `--global` adds `-g` to the `skills` installer command. Like `agents init`, the command only prints instructions.
+
+#### Codex
+
+Add the Video.js plugin marketplace, then install the plugin:
+
+**Terminal**
+
+```sh
+codex plugin marketplace add videojs/skills
+codex plugin add videojs@videojs
+```
+
+Start a new Codex session after installation.
+
+#### Claude Code
+
+Add the Video.js plugin marketplace, then install the plugin:
+
+**Terminal**
+
+```sh
+claude plugin marketplace add videojs/skills
+claude plugin install videojs@videojs
+```
+
+Start a new Claude Code session, or run `/reload-plugins` in the current session.
+
+You can invoke the skill directly with `/videojs:videojs`.
+
+#### VS Code
+
+Enable `chat.plugins.enabled`, run **Chat: Install Plugin From Source** from the Command Palette, and enter:
+
+```text
+https://github.com/videojs/skills
+```
+
+Start a new VS Code session after installation, or reload the window.
+
+#### Cursor
+
+Open **Customize**, select **Plugins**, choose **From GitHub Repository**, and enter:
+
+```text
+https://github.com/videojs/skills
+```
+
+Start a new Cursor session after installation, or reload the window.
+
+#### Other coding agents
+
+Use the open `skills` installer and select your agent when prompted:
+
+**Terminal**
+
+```sh
+npx skills add https://github.com/videojs/skills
+```
+
+Start a new session in your coding agent after installation.
+
+Project-local installation is the default. Add `-g` if you want the skill available in every project.
+
+To skip the prompts, name the agent and confirm up front, for example `npx skills add https://github.com/videojs/skills --agent <agent> --yes`.
+
+### Use the skill
+
+Ask for the player you want to build or the problem you want to solve. For example:
+
+> Add an HLS player with captions and a quality menu to the product page using Video.js.
+
+> Play this Mux playback ID in our Next.js app with Video.js, with Mux Data turned on.
+
+> Migrate this Video.js 8 embed to Video.js 10 in React.
+
+The skill checks your framework and installation method before choosing player, skin, and media code. It also checks imports and playback setup against current documentation before handing the work back.
+
+### How skills find docs
+
+The skill uses documentation in this order:
+
+1. **Version-matched installation instructions.** `npx @videojs/cli agents init` lists valid choices for every framework. Adding flags prints one complete installation plan. When the project already has a different `@videojs/react` or `@videojs/html` version, the plan names the pinned command for that release. The command only returns instructions; it does not prompt, install packages, or write files.
+2. **Installed package docs.** `node_modules/@videojs/react/docs/llms.txt` and `node_modules/@videojs/html/docs/llms.txt` index the docs shipped with each package version. These files work offline and match the code in your project.
+3. **Live docs.** If commands cannot run, the skill reads the relevant [React](../llms.txt) or [HTML](https://videojs.org/docs/framework/html/llms.txt) documentation index, then follows it to the matching installation guide.
+4. **Installed types.** If the docs are unavailable, the skill checks package exports and TypeScript declarations instead of guessing version-specific APIs.
+
+This order matters because most model training data describes Video.js 8. Video.js 10 has a different component model, package structure, and installation flow.
+
+The old `npx @videojs/cli docs` workflow was removed. `@videojs/cli` now contains only `agents init` and `agents skills`, in a single file with no dependencies, so running it does not download the player packages.
+
+### Troubleshoot
+
+If your agent does not use the skill, start a new session or reload plugins, then ask it to use the Video.js skill explicitly. If it writes `videojs()`, `data-setup`, `registerPlugin`, or other Video.js 8 APIs, ask it to read the installed `llms.txt` before changing code.
+
+Report problems with the skill in the [videojs/skills repository](https://github.com/videojs/skills/issues). Report package and documentation problems in [videojs/v10](https://github.com/videojs/v10/issues).
+
+## Use the docs
+
+You can still provide documentation directly when a tool cannot install skills.
+
+### Copy one page
+
+Each docs page has a **Copy page** menu. Copy the Markdown, open the `.md` version, or send the page to ChatGPT or Claude.
+
+### Open a Markdown URL
+
+Add `.md` to any docs URL. For this page, use:
+
+```text
+https://videojs.org/docs/framework/react/guides/build-with-ai.md
+```
+
+Each docs page also advertises its Markdown URL as an alternate format so compatible tools can discover it.
+
+### Request Markdown
+
+Request the normal docs URL with an `Accept: text/markdown` header:
+
+**Terminal**
+
+```sh
+curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" \
+  https://videojs.org/docs/framework/react/guides/build-with-ai
+```
+
+### Start from llms.txt
+
+[`videojs.org/docs/framework/react/llms.txt`](../llms.txt) lists every React guide and reference page with a short description. Give the index to your tool, then load only the pages the task needs.
+
+The `llms-full.txt` files contain the complete documentation corpus. Use them only when your tool requires one file because they are larger than most useful task contexts.
