--- name: VideoDisplay last_updated: 2026-06-11T23:11:58Z inherits: - GuiObject - GuiBase2d - GuiBase - Instance - Object type: class memory_category: Gui tags: - NotBrowsable summary: "A GUI object that displays video content from a connected VideoPlayer." --- # Class: VideoDisplay > A GUI object that displays video content from a connected [VideoPlayer](/docs/reference/engine/classes/VideoPlayer.md). ## Description A [VideoDisplay](/docs/reference/engine/classes/VideoDisplay.md) is a GUI object that displays video content from a [VideoPlayer](/docs/reference/engine/classes/VideoPlayer.md) connected via a [Wire](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Wire.md). It functions similarly to a [ImageLabel](/docs/reference/engine/classes/ImageLabel.md) but is designed for video playback. ## Properties ### Property: VideoDisplay.ResampleMode ```json { "type": "ResamplerMode", "access": "ReadWrite", "security": { "read": "None", "write": "None" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Video", "capabilities": [ "UI" ] } ``` Determines how the video looks when it is scaled. By default, the video smooths out texturing when displayed on the screen larger or smaller than its size in texture memory. When set to [Enum.ResamplerMode.Pixelated](/docs/reference/engine/enums/ResamplerMode.md), the video preserves the sharp edges of pixels. ### Property: VideoDisplay.ScaleType ```json { "type": "ScaleType", "access": "ReadWrite", "security": { "read": "None", "write": "None" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Video", "capabilities": [ "UI" ] } ``` Determines how a video texture is rendered when the UI element's aspect ratio differs from the source video's aspect ratio. By default, this property is [ScaleType.Stretch](/docs/reference/engine/enums/ScaleType.md) which will simply stretch/compact the video texture dimensions so it fits the UI element's space exactly. ### Property: VideoDisplay.TileSize ```json { "type": "UDim2", "access": "ReadWrite", "security": { "read": "None", "write": "None" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Video", "capabilities": [ "UI" ] } ``` ### Property: VideoDisplay.VideoColor3 ```json { "type": "Color3", "access": "ReadWrite", "security": { "read": "None", "write": "None" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Video", "capabilities": [ "UI" ] } ``` Determines how a video is colorized. When set to white, no colorization occurs. This property is useful for reusing video assets. ### Property: VideoDisplay.VideoRectOffset ```json { "type": "Vector2", "access": "ReadWrite", "security": { "read": "None", "write": "None" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Video", "capabilities": [ "UI" ] } ``` Allows the partial display of a video in conjunction with [VideoRectSize](/docs/reference/engine/classes/VideoDisplay.md). This property determines the pixel offset (from the top-left) of the video area to be displayed. ### Property: VideoDisplay.VideoRectSize ```json { "type": "Vector2", "access": "ReadWrite", "security": { "read": "None", "write": "None" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Video", "capabilities": [ "UI" ] } ``` Allows the partial display of a video in conjunction with [VideoRectOffset](/docs/reference/engine/classes/VideoDisplay.md). This property determines the pixel size of the video area to be displayed. If either dimension is set to `0`, the entire video is displayed instead. ### Property: VideoDisplay.VideoTransparency ```json { "type": "float", "access": "ReadWrite", "security": { "read": "None", "write": "None" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Video", "capabilities": [ "UI" ] } ``` Determines the alpha of a UI element's rendered video texture. A value of `0` is completely opaque, and a value of `1` is completely transparent (invisible). ## Methods ### Method: VideoDisplay:GetConnectedWires **Signature:** `VideoDisplay:GetConnectedWires(pin: string): List` Returns an array of [Wires](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Wire.md) that are connected to the specified pin.

For [VideoDisplay](/docs/reference/engine/classes/VideoDisplay.md), this is `Input` only. *Security: None · Thread Safety: Unsafe · Capabilities: UI* **Returns:** `Array` — An array of strings representing valid pin names. ### Method: VideoDisplay:GetOutputPins **Signature:** `VideoDisplay:GetOutputPins(): Array` Gets the list of pins that [Wire](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Wire.md) can use in [Wire.SourceName](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Wire.md) to connect to this instance via its [Wire.SourceInstance](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Wire.md) property. For [VideoDisplay](/docs/reference/engine/classes/VideoDisplay.md), there are none. *Security: None · Thread Safety: Unsafe · Capabilities: UI* **Returns:** `Array` — An array of strings representing valid pin names. ## Events ### Event: VideoDisplay.WiringChanged **Signature:** `VideoDisplay.WiringChanged(connected: boolean, pin: string, wire: Wire, instance: Instance)` Fires after a [Wire](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Wire.md) becomes connected or disconnected, and that [Wire](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Wire.md) is now or was previously connected to a pin on the [VideoDisplay](/docs/reference/engine/classes/VideoDisplay.md) and to some other wirable instance. *Security: None · Capabilities: UI* **Parameters:** | Name | Type | Description | |------|------|-------------| | `connected` | `boolean` | Whether the instance got connected or disconnected. | | `pin` | `string` | The pin on the [VideoDisplay](/docs/reference/engine/classes/VideoDisplay.md) that the [Wire](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Wire.md) targets. | | `wire` | `Wire` | The [Wire](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Wire.md) between the [VideoDisplay](/docs/reference/engine/classes/VideoDisplay.md) and the other instance. | | `instance` | `Instance` | The other instance that is or was connected through the [Wire](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Wire.md). | ## Inherited Members ### From [GuiObject](/docs/reference/engine/classes/GuiObject.md) -
