## Detailed Description

Attaching a QVideoWidget to a QMediaPlayer or QCamera allows it to display the video or image output of that object.

     player = new QMediaPlayer;
     player->setSource(QUrl("http://example.com/myclip1.mp4"));

     videoWidget = new QVideoWidget;
     player->setVideoOutput(videoWidget);

     videoWidget->show();
     player->play();

Note: Only a single display output can be attached to a media object at one time.

See also QCamera, QMediaPlayer, and QGraphicsVideoItem.

## Property Documentation

### aspectRatioMode : Qt::AspectRatioMode

how video is scaled with respect to its aspect ratio.

Access functions:

Qt::AspectRatioMode | aspectRatioMode() const
void | setAspectRatioMode(Qt::AspectRatioMode mode)

Notifier signal:

void | aspectRatioModeChanged(Qt::AspectRatioMode mode)

### fullScreen : bool

This property holds whether video display is confined to a window or is fullScreen.

Access functions:

bool | isFullScreen() const
void | setFullScreen(bool fullScreen)

Notifier signal:

void | fullScreenChanged(bool fullScreen)

## Member Function Documentation

### `[explicit]` QVideoWidget::QVideoWidget(QWidget *parent = nullptr)

Constructs a new video widget.

The parent is passed to QWidget.

### `[virtual]` QVideoWidget::~QVideoWidget()

Destroys a video widget.

### `[override virtual protected]` bool QVideoWidget::event(QEvent *event)

Reimplements: QWidget::event(QEvent *event).

Current event event. Returns the value of the base class QWidget::event(QEvent *event) function.

### `[override virtual protected]` void QVideoWidget::hideEvent(QHideEvent *event)

Reimplements: QWidget::hideEvent(QHideEvent *event).

Handles the hide event.

### `[override virtual protected]` void QVideoWidget::moveEvent(QMoveEvent *event)

Reimplements: QWidget::moveEvent(QMoveEvent *event).

Handles the move event.

### `[override virtual protected]` void QVideoWidget::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent *event)

Reimplements: QWidget::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent *event).

Handles the resize event.

### `[override virtual protected]` void QVideoWidget::showEvent(QShowEvent *event)

Reimplements: QWidget::showEvent(QShowEvent *event).

Handles the show event.

### `[override virtual]` QSize QVideoWidget::sizeHint() const

Reimplements an access function for property: QWidget::sizeHint.

Returns the size hint for the current back end, if there is one, or else the size hint from QWidget.

### `[invokable]` QVideoSink *QVideoWidget::videoSink() const

Returns the QVideoSink instance.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.
