Usage

usage.tsx
import {  VideoPlayer,  VideoPlayerContent,  VideoPlayerControlBar,  VideoPlayerMuteButton,  VideoPlayerPlayButton,  VideoPlayerSeekBackwardButton,  VideoPlayerSeekForwardButton,  VideoPlayerTimeDisplay,  VideoPlayerTimeRange,  VideoPlayerVolumeRange,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/video-player";export function Example() {  return (    <VideoPlayer>      <VideoPlayerContent        slot="media"        src="/videos/demo.mp4"        aria-label="Product demonstration"      />      <VideoPlayerControlBar>        <VideoPlayerPlayButton />        <VideoPlayerSeekBackwardButton />        <VideoPlayerSeekForwardButton />        <VideoPlayerTimeRange />        <VideoPlayerTimeDisplay />        <VideoPlayerMuteButton />        <VideoPlayerVolumeRange />      </VideoPlayerControlBar>    </VideoPlayer>  );}
  • Embed self-hosted or remote video in a shadcn/ui application.
  • Build a custom video control layout from reusable playback, seeking, volume, and timeline primitives.
  • Use when media-chrome behavior is desired while keeping colors synchronized with the shadcn/ui theme.
  • Create branded video experiences without implementing media control state manually.

Examples

Basic video player

A complete player with a media element and the exported control primitives.

basic-video-player.tsx
import {  VideoPlayer,  VideoPlayerContent,  VideoPlayerControlBar,  VideoPlayerPlayButton,  VideoPlayerTimeRange,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/video-player";export function BasicVideoPlayer() {  return (    <VideoPlayer>      <VideoPlayerContent slot="media" src="/videos/intro.mp4" aria-label="Introduction" />      <VideoPlayerControlBar>        <VideoPlayerPlayButton />        <VideoPlayerTimeRange />      </VideoPlayerControlBar>    </VideoPlayer>  );}

Full playback controls

Adds seeking, time information, mute, and volume controls.

full-playback-controls.tsx
import {  VideoPlayer,  VideoPlayerContent,  VideoPlayerControlBar,  VideoPlayerMuteButton,  VideoPlayerPlayButton,  VideoPlayerSeekBackwardButton,  VideoPlayerSeekForwardButton,  VideoPlayerTimeDisplay,  VideoPlayerTimeRange,  VideoPlayerVolumeRange,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/video-player";export function FullVideoPlayer() {  return (    <VideoPlayer>      <VideoPlayerContent slot="media" src="/videos/course-lesson.mp4" aria-label="Course lesson" />      <VideoPlayerControlBar>        <VideoPlayerPlayButton />        <VideoPlayerSeekBackwardButton />        <VideoPlayerSeekForwardButton />        <VideoPlayerTimeRange />        <VideoPlayerTimeDisplay />        <VideoPlayerMuteButton />        <VideoPlayerVolumeRange />      </VideoPlayerControlBar>    </VideoPlayer>  );}

Custom control styling

Uses className on the wrapper and individual controls while preserving the component defaults.

custom-control-styling.tsx
import {  VideoPlayer,  VideoPlayerContent,  VideoPlayerControlBar,  VideoPlayerPlayButton,  VideoPlayerTimeRange,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/video-player";export function StyledVideoPlayer() {  return (    <VideoPlayer className="overflow-hidden rounded-lg border">      <VideoPlayerContent slot="media" src="/videos/trailer.mp4" className="aspect-video" aria-label="Trailer" />      <VideoPlayerControlBar className="bg-muted">        <VideoPlayerPlayButton className="text-primary" />        <VideoPlayerTimeRange className="flex-1" />      </VideoPlayerControlBar>    </VideoPlayer>  );}

Accessibility

  • Provide an accessible name for VideoPlayerContent with aria-label or an associated labeling strategy.
  • Use a descriptive aria-label on the video when its purpose is not clear from surrounding content.
  • Keep keyboard interaction available through the media-chrome controls and avoid hiding focus indicators with custom styles.
  • Provide captions or subtitles through the underlying video element when the video contains spoken content.
  • Do not rely on color alone for playback state, volume state, or other control meaning.
