# Video Element

The video element is created and managed by the <mark style="color:orange;">`ArcwareApplication`</mark> instance, which is responsible for playing the video stream.

#### Initialization

Initialize your <mark style="color:orange;">`ArcwarePixelStreaming`</mark> instance and create an <mark style="color:orange;">`ArcwareApplication`</mark> instance as follows, or use the <mark style="color:orange;">`ArcwareInit`</mark> method to initialize all you need in a single call.

```javascript
const config = new ArcwareConfig({ /** ... */ });
const pixelStreaming = new ArcwarePixelStreaming(config);
const application = new ArcwareApplication({ stream: pixelStreaming });
// or
const { Application } = ArcwareInit(/** ... */);
```

#### Embedding the Video

After creating the <mark style="color:orange;">`ArcwareApplication`</mark> instance, append the video element to the stream container:

```javascript
const container = document.querySelector(`#${containerId}`);
if (!container) throw new Error("Container is undefined.");

// Append the root element of the application to the container
container.appendChild(application.rootElement);
```
