CompatLiveAudioSkin
A live audio skin designed for broader browser compatibility
The Compat skin of the live audio preset provides basic controls and plain surfaces, with broader browser compatibility as its design goal. It shows a Live button in place of time controls. See Customize skins to install and edit its source.
Import
Anatomy
The skin goes between the player and the media component. It renders its controls around the media.
This uses the Mux audio element: a plain <audio> can’t play HLS in most browsers, and this element reports the live playback state the skin’s Live button needs. See Play live streams.
Styling
Packaged skins style themselves and expose a small set of public CSS custom properties. Everything else inside the skin is private and may change between releases. Customize skins documents the properties. For deeper changes, the Video.js registry provides the skin files.

Basic Usage
Own the UI
Packaged skins keep their controls and layout inside Video.js. When you need to add, remove, rearrange, or deeply restyle controls, use Shadcn to add the skin source to your project. Its components, layout, styles, and interactions become local files you can change.
