# [Video.js][vjs-website] Documentation
There are two categories of docs: [Guides](/docs/guides/) and [API docs][api].
Guides explain general topics and use cases (e.g. setup). API docs are automatically generated from the codebase and give specific details about functions, properties, and events.

## Resolving Issues
### [FAQ](/docs/guides/faq.md)
The frequently asked questions for Video.js.
### [Troubleshooting](/docs/guides/troubleshooting.md)
Troubleshooting help for Video.js.
## [Guides](/docs/guides/)
### Getting Started
#### [Setup](/docs/guides/setup.md)
The setup guide covers all methods of setting up Video.js players.
#### [Player Workflows](/docs/guides/player-workflows.md)
After mastering the basics of setup move over to this guide for some more advanced player workflows.
#### [Options](/docs/guides/options.md)
There are a number of options that can be used to change how the player behaves, starting with the HTML5 media options like autoplay and preload, and expanding to Video.js specific options.
#### [Tracks](/docs/guides/tracks.md)
Tracks are used for displaying text information over a video, selecting different audio tracks for a video, or selecting different video tracks.
### Customizing
#### [Skins](/docs/guides/skins.md)
You can change the look of the player across playback technologies just by editing a CSS file. The skins documentation gives you a intro to how the HTML and CSS of the default skin is put together. For a list of skins you can check the [Video.js wiki][skins-list].
#### [Plugins](/docs/guides/plugins.md)
You can package up interesting Video.js customizations and reuse them elsewhere. Find out how to build your own plugin or [use one created by someone else][plugins-list].
#### [Components](/docs/guides/components.md)
Video.js is built around a collection of components. These are the building blocks of the player UI.
#### [Tech](/docs/guides/tech.md)
A "tech" is the shorthand we're using to describe any video playback technology - be it HTML5 video or a YouTube player. Basically anything that has a unique API to audio or video. Additional playback technologies can be added relatively easily.
#### [Languages](/docs/guides/languages.md)
Video.js has multi-language support! Follow this guide to see how you can contribute to and use languages.
#### [Hooks](/docs/guides/hooks.md)
A "hook" is functionality that wants to do when videojs creates a player. Right now only `beforesetup` and `setup` are supported. See the guide for more information on that.
#### [Debugging](/docs/guides/debugging.md)
Follow this guide to see how you can use `videojs.log` for debugging purposes.
## [API Docs][api]
