<dash-video controls src="https://player.vimeo.com/external/648359100.mpd?s=a4419a2e2113cc24a87aef2f93ef69a8e4c8fb0c"></dash-video>
```

## Install

First install the NPM package:

```bash
npm install dash-video-element
```

Import in your app javascript (e.g. src/App.js):

```js
import 'dash-video-element';
```

Optionally, you can load the script directly from a CDN using [JSDelivr](https://www.jsdelivr.com/):

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```html
<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/dash-video-element@0/+esm"></script>
```
