Hey!

I was wondering how to control a video component programatically.  
I want to be able to pause, mute and go back to start. Let’s say, from 3 different buttons (but not the built in controls)

I can’t find a way to do it from weweb.

Thanks!  
Nico

Hi, have you checked component actions? [Execute component action | WeWeb Documentation](https://docs.weweb.io/workflows/actions/execute-component-action.html)
