# Overview
> Plug video understanding into your agents — meetings, recordings, tutorials, cameras, and desktop perception
## The Context Transfer Problem
You are surrounded by videos — meetings, recordings, tutorials, channels, cameras, and even your desktop. The real bottleneck isn't processing power or model capability. It's **context transfer**.
Your agents are blind to the visual world you navigate every day. They can't see your Zoom calls, understand your Loom recordings, or follow along as you watch a tutorial. VideoDB changes that.
## Built for Agents
VideoDB is built from the ground up for agents. Your AI assistants can now acquire context from:
* **Meetings** — Understand discussions, decisions, and action items
* **Recordings** — Search and reference Loom-style videos, demos, and walkthroughs
* **Desktop perception** — See what you see in real-time
* **Tutorials** — Watch and learn alongside you
* **Cameras** — Monitor physical environments and events
Real-time understanding of your environment changes how you act in the real world.
## What's Possible
Imagine **Claude Code** with complete understanding of your meetings and Loom recordings. Start a sharing session and watch a tutorial together — your agent follows along, ready to help implement what you're learning.
Imagine **OpenClaw-style agents** recording demos of any app, capturing their autonomous workflows for review and debugging.
Imagine **research agents** navigating the internet, producing informative video summaries that cut through the noise — saving you from misinformation and clickbait.
## Install VideoDB Skills
Add video capabilities to your agent in seconds:
```bash theme={null}
npx skills add video-db/skills
```
Then run the setup command in your agent:
```
/videodb setup
```
The setup guides you through obtaining a VideoDB API key (includes \$20 free credits, no credit card required), installing the SDK, and verifying the connection.
