+# `useVideo`
+
+Creates `<video>` element, tracks its state and exposes playback controls.
+
+
+## Usage
+
+```jsx
+import {useVideo} from 'react-use';
+
+const Demo = () => {
+  const [video, state, controls, ref] = useVideo({
+    src: 'http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4',
+    autoPlay: true,
+  });
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {video}
+      <pre>{JSON.stringify(state, null, 2)}</pre>
+      <button onClick={controls.pause}>Pause</button>
+      <button onClick={controls.play}>Play</button>
+      <br/>
+      <button onClick={controls.mute}>Mute</button>
+      <button onClick={controls.unmute}>Un-mute</button>
+      <br/>
+      <button onClick={() => controls.volume(.1)}>Volume: 10%</button>
+      <button onClick={() => controls.volume(.5)}>Volume: 50%</button>
+      <button onClick={() => controls.volume(1)}>Volume: 100%</button>
+      <br/>
+      <button onClick={() => controls.seek(state.time - 5)}>-5 sec</button>
+      <button onClick={() => controls.seek(state.time + 5)}>+5 sec</button>
+    </div>
+  );
+};
+```
+
+
+## Reference
+
+```ts
+const [video, state, controls, ref] = useAudio(props);
+```
+
+`video` is React's `<video>` element that you have to insert somewhere in your
+render tree, for example:
+
+```jsx
+<div>{video}</div>
+```
+
+`state` tracks the state of the video and has the following shape:
+
+```json
+{
+  "buffered": [
+    {
+      "start": 0,
+      "end": 425.952625
+    }
+  ],
+  "time": 5.244996,
+  "duration": 425.952625,
+  "isPlaying": false,
+  "muted": false,
+  "volume": 1
+}
+```
+
+`controls` is a list collection of methods that allow you to control the
+playback of the video, it has the following interface:
+
+```ts
+interface AudioControls {
+  play: () => Promise<void> | void;
+  pause: () => void;
+  mute: () => void;
+  unmute: () => void;
+  volume: (volume: number) => void;
+  seek: (time: number) => void;
+}
+```
+
+`ref` is a React reference to HTML `<video>` element, you can access the element by
+`ref.current`, note that it may be `null`.
+
+And finally, `props` &mdash; all props that `<video>` accepts.
