example

function setup() {  
createCanvas(640, 120);  
video = createCapture(‘[http://11.111.111.11/play.html](http://11.111.111.11/play.html)’)  
}

function draw() {  
background(220);  
}

is this impossible?

Is there any way to use URL video?

Yes it is possible.

`createCapture()` is for webcams, if you want a video you need to use `createVideo()`
