Video Player


You can play a wide variety of videos on your
Samsung Galaxy device

Watching videos
You have the ability to not
only play a range of videos
that are currently stored on
your Samsung Galaxy device,
but you can also choose to
manipulate them in a variety
of ways, such as tagging
people who appear inside
them or even trimming clips
down to focus on the main
action without having to
leave the Video app. You can
also share your videos via
other devices and apps, or
upload them to the internet.

Play a fi le
Playing a video fi le on
the Samsung Galaxy is
straightforward, and the
Video app will appear to be
quite similar to many other devices playing the same sort of media,
albeit with a few tweaks relating to the particular platform, of course
(Fig 1). To begin, enter your App Drawer and tap on Video, which
will then open up the app and display the fi les. Decide on how you
would like the fi les to be displayed by tapping the menu icon in the
top-right corner and choosing ‘View as’. Now pick a display option
from Grid view, List view or Folder view (Fig 2). Once you have
scanned the list of fi les that are available, tap on the one that you
want to watch. As soon as you initiate the fi le, it will load and then
begin to play automatically.
