A React Native <Video /> component providing cross-platform video playback built on native players (ExoPlayer, AVPlayer, UWP, HTML5). It supports HLS/DASH streaming, DRM (Widevine/FairPlay), subtitles, offline playback, and Picture-in-Picture.
Use cases
- play video in a react native app
- stream hls or dash video on ios and android
- add drm-protected video playback with widevine and fairplay
- show subtitles and switch audio tracks in a mobile app
- download videos for offline playback
- add picture-in-picture video to react native
- build a video feed with fast preloading
When to choose
- you need a battle-tested video player component for React Native
- you need DRM, streaming formats, or offline playback across iOS and Android
- you want full control over tracks, buffering, and playback events
- you want to target the new React Native architecture (v7)
When to avoid
- you need a stable release and cannot tolerate breaking changes (v7 is in active beta development)
- you need TV, visionOS, or web support that is still incomplete or TODO
- you are on React Native older than 0.75 (v7) or 0.68 (v6)
- you need a video player outside the React Native ecosystem
