+Video Events
+---------------
+
+`draft` `optional`
+
+This specification defines video events representing a dedicated post of externally hosted content. These video events are _parameterized replaceable_ and deletable per [NIP-09](09.md).
+
+Unlike a `kind 1` event with a video attached, Video Events are meant to contain all necessary metadata concerning the media and to be surfaced in media specific clients rather than general micro-blogging clients. The thought is for events of this kind to be referenced in a YouTube like nostr client where the video itself is at the center of the experience.
+
+## Video Events
+
+#### Format
+
+The format uses a parameterized replaceable event kind `34235`.
+
+The `.content` of these events is optional and should be a summary of the video's contents.
+
+The list of tags are as follows:
+* `d` (required) universally unique identifier (UUID). Generated by the client creating the video event.
+* `title` (required) title of the video
+* `src` (required) a link to the video data
+* `m` (optional) the MIME type of the video data in the `src` tag
+* `summary` (optional) summary/description of the video (same as content)
+* `image` (optional) thumbnail or preview image for the video
+* `text-track` (optional, repeated) link to WebVTT file for video, type of supplementary information (captions/subtitles/chapters/metadata), optional language code
+* `content-warning` (optional) warning about content of NSFW video
+* `t` (optional, repeated) hashtag to categorize video
+* `p` (optional, repeated) 32-bytes hex pubkey of a participant in the video, optional recommended relay URL
+* `r` (optional, repeated) references / links to web pages.
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": <32-bytes lowercase hex-encoded SHA-256 of the the serialized event data>,
+  "pubkey": <32-bytes lowercase hex-encoded public key of the event creator>,
+  "created_at": <Unix timestamp in seconds>,
+  "kind": 34235,
+  "content": "<summary of video>",
+  "tags": [
+    ["d", "<UUID>"],
+
+    ["title", "<title of video>"],
+    ["summary", "<summary of video>"],
+    ["image", "<thumbnail image for video>"],
+
+    // Video Data
+    ["src", "<url>"],
+    ["m", "<MIME type>"],
+    ["text-track", "<url>", "<text track type>", "<optional language>"],
+    ["content-warning", "<reason>"],
+
+    // Participants
+    ["p", "<32-bytes hex of a pubkey>", "<optional recommended relay URL>"],
+    ["p", "<32-bytes hex of a pubkey>", "<optional recommended relay URL>"],
+
+    // Hashtags
+    ["t", "<tag>"],
+    ["t", "<tag>"],
+
+    // Reference links
+    ["r", "<url>"],
+    ["r", "<url>"]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Video View
+
+A video event view is a response to a video event to track a user's view or progress viewing the video.
+
+### Format
+
+The format uses a parameterized replaceable event kind `34236`.
+
+The `.content` of these events is optional and could be a free-form note that acts like a bookmark for the user.
+
+The list of tags are as follows:
+* `a` (required) reference tag to kind `34235` video event being viewed
+* `d` (required) universally unique identifier. Generated by the client creating the video event view
+* `progress` (optional) timestamp of the user's progress in format `HH:MM:SS.sss`
+
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": <32-bytes lowercase hex-encoded SHA-256 of the the serialized event data>,
+  "pubkey": <32-bytes lowercase hex-encoded public key of the event creator>,
+  "created_at": <Unix timestamp in seconds>,
+  "kind": 34236,
+  "content": "<note>",
+  "tags": [
+    ["a", "<34235>:<calendar event author pubkey>:<d-identifier of video event>", "<optional relay url>"],
+    ["d", "<UUID>"],
+    ["progress", "00:08:31.520"],
+  ]
+}
+```
