+The Video.js player is built on top of a simple, custom UI components architecture. The player class and all control classes inherit from the `Component` class, or a subclass of `Component`.
 
 ```js
-videojs.Control = videojs.Component.extend();
-videojs.Button = videojs.Control.extend();
-videojs.PlayToggle = videojs.Button.extend();
+videojs.registerComponent('Control', videojs.extends(Component));
+videojs.registerComponent('Button', videojs.extends(videojs.getComponent('Control')));
+videojs.registerComponent('PlayToggle', videojs.extends(videojs.getComponent('Button')));
 ```
 
 The UI component architecture makes it easier to add child components to a parent component and build up an entire user interface, like the controls for the Video.js player.
