play button
Begins the video
A play button is the control that starts audio or video playback, typically marked with a right-pointing triangle.
The symbol has become universal across media players, streaming services, and physical devices: Just hit the play button.
The icon itself often represents media content generally—a play button superimposed on an image signals that it's a video.
