# \[Deprecated] How to Setup a URL Video Player
{% 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.
* 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.\
**Note: Video quality & performance are expected to degrade when streaming more than 1 video via URL at a time**

## 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://docs.otherside.xyz/platform-documentation/creation/unreal-development/features-and-tutorials/video-players/streaming-video-player/how-to-set-up-a-url-or-embedded-video-player.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
