+#### Alternative setup
+
+Note that the example code above will check for hls.js support _first_ and then
+fallback to check if the browser natively supports HLS. If you want to check for
+native browser support first, and then fallback to Hls.js you will want to swap
+those conditionals.
+
+The order of these checks depends on if you want to use hls.js whenever possible
+see [this comment](https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js/pull/2954#issuecomment-670021358) to understand some of the tradeoffs.

 ## Video Control
 
 Video is controlled through HTML ```<video>``` element.
