    return (
        <div>
            <MyVideo />

            />
        <div/>
        </>
    )
}

import React from 'react';
import { ReactVideo } from 'reactjs-media';

const App = () => {
    return (
        <div>
            <MyVideo />
        </div>
    )
}

const MyVideo = () => {
    return (
