        ==About the video player==
        
        The video player allows you to embed local video files in a page. These files have to be uploaded to your wiki first.
        
        
        
        If you want to embed videos from a video sharing service such as Youtube, you can use the installed extension EmbedVideo. EmbedVideo is documented at [[UserManual:Mediawikiwiki:Extension:EmbedVideo|mediawiki.org]].
        
        
        
        ==How to use the video player==
        
        
        
        Use the tag <code><nowiki><bs:showtime>Video.mp4</bs:showtime></nowiki></code> anywhere in an article to activate the player. Upload the video into your wiki first. You can upload the video just like an image (''Global actions > Upload file'').
        
        
        
        The following video formats are supported: '''mp4, ogv, flv, webm'''
        
        
        
        ===Optional arguments===
        
        
        
        You can configure the player with the following arguments:
        
        
        
        {| class="contenttable-blue"

        ||''repeat''
        
        ||Automatically repeats the video in a loop
        
        ||bool

        |}
        
        
        
        
        
        '''Example syntax''': <code><nowiki><bs:showtime width="960" height="760" autostart="true">Testvideo.mp4</bs:showtime></nowiki></code>

        For technical reasons, not all video formats can be played in all browsers.
