{% hint style="danger" %}
Deprecated in release v39. Please speak to support for further info.

**07/07/2025:** The `BPM_VideoPlayer` has been deprecated, in favour of the new `BPM_M2Example_SyncedVideoPlayer`. Please refer to the new docs: [Example Synced Video Player](/platform-documentation/creation/unreal-development/features-and-tutorials/video-players/streaming-video-player/example-synced-video-player.md)
{% endhint %}

* Add a `BPM_VideoPlayer` to your level.
* Add a `BPM_VideoPlayerControl` to your level.
* In Editor, select the VideoPlayer. A Web URL can be selected to play on start up by adding the desired URL to `M2Video`-> `Src` in the details section.<br>
* While in game, open the control panel by clicking on it (assuming use of a role with permissions to use control panels such as director). The Web URL can be updated in here by editing the `Video URL` section.\
