# Video Layer

The video layer allows you to upload videos and use them as a video texture on 2D and 3D objects.

<Info>Uploading videos is a paid feature, you’ll need to have an active **Starter, Professional** or **Team** subscription to use it.</Info>

## How to create a Video Layer

To add a video layer, you’ll need to:

1. Select an object and add a new layer on the Material Panel.
2. Change the layer to **“Video”** by clicking on the dropdown on the newly created layer.
3. Open the **Video Layer** settings by clicking on the thumbnail.
4. Click on the **“Upload Video”** to upload a new video.

You can also save your Video Layers as a video asset to reuse in other objects.

## How to Play, Pause, or Stop a Video Layer

When adding a new Video Layer, a Start Event is automatically created with a Video Action, making your video autoplay on scene load.

You can change the event to another type, here’s a list of events where the video action is supported:

* [Start Event](/interaction-states-events-and-actions/events/start-event)
* [Mouse Up Event](/interaction-states-events-and-actions/events/mouse-up-event)
* [Mouse Down Event](/interaction-states-events-and-actions/events/mouse-down-event)
* [Key Up Event](/interaction-states-events-and-actions/events/key-up-event)
* [Key Down Event](/interaction-states-events-and-actions/events/key-down-event)

With the Video Action, you can control if you want to Play, Pause or Stop a video layer.

As well as other properties like video Volume, Delay and Loop.
