# Video Control

## Overview

The Video [Form Control](/v9/docs/form-control-glossary) is used to display a video on a Form, along with the following options at runtime if the Show Controls option is enabled: Play/Pause, playback seeking via the video being played, Volume/Mute, Fullscreen, Download, Playback speed, and Picture-in-Picture. By default, the video will automatically play on mute; there is no setting available to control the initial volume of the video. Once the video is started at run-time, it will continue to loop unless manually paused.
