# Video player

The inline video player in Pipeline lets you quickly embed a video from YouTube, Vimeo, or even an MP4 video right into the page, ***without a popup***. 

Allow your customers to watch extended videos that showcase your brand, products, and services. The videos are conveniently located within the section. 

### Play inline

Videos are displayed and played inside the section. Including YouTube, Vimeo, and MP4 videos. Add a Rich text section to create a heading:

### Customize

Choose a video to play and use the options in the section settings to fine-tune the section:

You can adjust the video aspect ratio to match the style of video you're using:

### Add a placeholder image

To brand the video player, you can add a placeholder image. When shoppers click on the play button, the video will still play inline ***without a popup***:&#x20;

### Block content

Blocks that you add to the Video Player section have individual settings. You can also control the following section settings to configure how all the blocks appear over the section placeholder and video:

* Alinement over the section
* Text color
* Background color, for a solid background or transparency

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://story.groupthought.com/sections/story-sections/video-player.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
