# Adaptive Video {#start}

<!-- TODO: no Markdown rendering for "only" -->

-   *Classification:* adaptive_video
-   *Version:* 1.0
-   *Language:* en
-   *Description:*

    Delivers FAL videos as adaptive HLS streams for a fast start and
    smooth playback on any connection. Videos are encoded
    asynchronously with ffmpeg in a background worker; until a stream
    is ready, the original file is played. Works with `<f:media>` and
    the Text & Media content element, uses native HLS or hls.js and
    supports poster images from b13/poster-image.
