# How does video work with AVIOU?

## Videos in publications works better without a play bar and the standard vimeo interface. Learn the best way to use video in AVIOU here.

### 🎥 Using Video in AVIOU Publications

AVIOU supports **YouTube**, **Vimeo**, and **MP4** video formats. For the best user experience, videos should be displayed **without player controls** or overlays.

---

#### ✅ Recommended Setup: Clean Playback (No Play Bar)

To achieve a clean, professional look:

### 1. 📼 Use Vimeo, YouTube, or MP4 Links

- All three formats are supported
- **MP4** offers the most control (hosted externally or via CDN)

---

#### ⚙️ Disable Controls in Vimeo

Vimeo adds default UI elements unless configured properly.

### Steps:

1. Go to your video’s **Settings** on Vimeo

#### 🛠️ Troubleshooting Vimeo Issues

If your video or GIF isn’t displaying correctly in AVIOU:

- Check your **Vimeo subscription plan**
- Some features (like hiding player controls) require **paid plans**
- Review your **billing status** for any changes that could affect video permissions

---

Once configured, your video is ready to be **embedded into any AVIOU element** — including content boxes, sliders, or splash screens.
