## Overview
The Video component lets you add [Media Manager](https://docs.pbs.org/space/MM/5341192/Media+Manager) content or YouTube videos to your Bento site and create a video playlist, if you wish.
## Example
## How to add the Video component
- In a [block](https://pbs-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/B3/pages/4751596) in the content section of your page, click the **plus sign** to add a component (Figure 1.1).
- From the component menu, in the Audio/Visual section, click **video** (Figure 1.2).
Figure 1
- Hover your mouse over the component until the Media Manager and YouTube boxes display in the upper left corner of the component. Click either **Media Manager **or **YouTube**, depending on the source that holds the video you want to use (Figure 2).
> ⚠️ **To add Media Manager videos, please be sure you have ****[requested a Media Manager API key](http://digitalsupport.pbs.org/support/tickets/new)**** when ****[setting up your site](https://pbs-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/B3/pages/4751441)****. **

## How to add a Media Manager video

- In the upper left corner of the Video component, click **Media Manager **(Figure 1).
Figure 1
- A list of Media Manager videos surfaces. Browse the list of videos or search in the following ways:

- Click the ***Geo Includes***** dropdown menu** to search for videos available in certain areas of the world (Figure 2.3). *The US is selected by default.*
- When making a selection here, only videos that are available in the selected area that you click will display in your search results. For instance, if you select Canada, your search results will include videos available in the US and Canada. This means that the videos' geo restrictions are such that Canadian users are able to view the content.
