 # Video
 
-The `Video` component adds a video with various controls to your page. The video can play on load or when the video comes into view. The component supports videos with or without audio, and has options to add a pause/play button or to allow the user to click on the video to pause and play it instead.
+The `Video` component adds a video with various controls to your page such as:
+
+- Play/pause button
+- Autoplay controls, i.e. whether the video plays when it comes into view or on page load
+- Looping
+- Audio controls
+- Text elements such as notes and titles
 
 ```svelte
 <script>
   import { Video } from '@reuters-graphics/graphics-components';
-  import { assets } from '$app/paths'; // If using local video in the Graphics Kit
 </script>
 
 <Video
-  ariaDescription={'Compulsory description of your video for screen readers.'}
-  src={`${assets}/videos/myVideo.mp4`}
-  width={'wide'}
-  caption={'Optional caption for your video.'}
+  ariaDescription="Required description of your video for screen readers."
+  src="my-video.mp4"
+  width="wide"
+  notes="Optional caption for your video."
 />
 ```

-## Playing and looping
+## Using with ArchieML docs
 
-`playVideoWhenInView`, `playVideoThreshold`
+With the Graphics Kit, you'll likely get your text value from an ArchieML doc...
 
-- By default, the video will **start playing when 50% of the video element's height is visible on the page**.
-  To control the threshold of visibility at which the video starts playing, add the prop `playVideoThreshold` and set it to a value between 0 and 1,
-  where 0 means that the video will start playing as soon as its top enters the viewport, while 1 means it will start when the whole video is in the viewport.
+```yaml
+# ArchieML doc
+[blocks]
+type: video
+src: videos/my-video.mp4
+width: wide
+ariaDescription: Required description of your video for screen readers.
+notes: Optional caption for your video.
+loopVideo: true
+[]
+```
 
-- If you don't want the video to play when you scroll to it, but **on page load**, add the prop `playVideoWhenInView={false}`. The default of the prop is `true`,
-  which corresponds to the behaviour described above.
+... which you'll parse out of a ArchieML block object before passing to the `Video` component.
 
-`loopVideo`
+```svelte
+<!-- App.svelte -->
+<script>
+  import { Video } from '@reuters-graphics/graphics-components';
+  import { assets } from '$app/paths'; // 👈 If using in the Graphics Kit...
+  import { truthy } from '$utils/propValidators'; // 👈 If using in the Graphics Kit...
+</script>
 
-- By default, the video will **loop**. If you don't want that, add the prop `loopVideo={false}`.
+{#each content.blocks as block}
+  {#if block.type === 'video'}
+    <Video
+      ariaDescription={block.ariaDescription}
+      src={`${assets}/${block.src}`}
+      width={block.width}
+      loopVideo={truthy(block.loopVideo)}
+      notes={block.notes}
+    />
+  {/if}
+{/each}
+```
 
-Here is an example of what the same video would look like with a visibility threshold of 0.9 and not looping. Scroll down slowly to observe the behaviour.
+> **Note:** Some props, like `loopVideo`, expect boolean values. If you're using the Graphics Kit, you can use the `truthy()` util function to convert a string value to a boolean.
+
+## Autoplay controls
+
+By default, the video starts playing when 50% (0.5) of the video element's height comes into view. Adjust this with `playVideoThreshold`, which is a value between 0 and 1, where 0 means the video will start playing as soon as its top enters the viewport, and 1 means it will start when the whole video is in the viewport.
+
+To make the video play on page load regardless of whether it is in view, set the prop `playVideoWhenInView` to `false`.

 ## Audio controls
 
-If you've ever had to put sound on a page in recent years,
-you'll know that auto-playing sound is not allowed by browsers. The user will need to interact with the page first, and it will depend on your
-particular use case how and when you'd like this to happen. This component provides two options to deal with this.
-If you have a video with sound, make sure to add the prop `muteVideo={false}`.
+On most browsers, [autoplaying videos with sound](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/autoplay#:~:text=Muted%20autoplay%20is%20always%20allowed,to%20allow%20autoplay%20with%20sound.) is allowed only if the user has interacted with the page. (Autoplay is allowed with muted videos.)
 
-Then you can either:
+By default, this component will not autoplay videos with sound. To change this, set `soundAutoplay` to `true`. This will allow the video to autoplay with sound when it comes into view, but only if the user has already interacted with the page by clicking or tapping on it.
 
-- `allowSoundToAutoplay={false}` (default) : Don't allow the video to autoplay under any circumstances other than when the user clicks the 'play' on the video. Note that this
-  works whether or not you have the controls visible, i.e. with `showControls` being `true` or `false`, as long as you allow
-  play/pause behaviour with `possibleToPlayPause={true}` (default).
-
-- `allowSoundToAutoplay={true}` : Allow the video to autoplay when it comes into view as long as the user has interacted with the page preivously, i.e. they have clicked/tapped
-  anywhere on the page.
-
-You should keep `playVideoWhenInView={true}` (default). There is no option to autoplay video with sound when the user clicks on the page
-elsewhere if the video is not in view. In other words, you can't start playing sound for a video which is not in view with this component.
-This is probably not a behaviour you'd want anyway.
-
-The example below allows for autoplay if the user has interacted with the page before the video comes into view. To see this, reload the page
-and go to the top. Click anywhere on the page before scrolling down to the video and you should see it autoplay when it comes into view.
+Test this with the example below: the video will autoplay when it comes into view _only if_ you have clicked or tapped on the page before scrolling down to it.

+## Adding text

+The `Video` component allows you to add a title, description and notes to your video, which are rendered by the `GraphicBlock` component.
