Overview

Control in a WINDEV and WINDEV Mobile window

The Multimedia control is used to play multimedia files.

In a site, we recommend that you use the MP4 format (supported by all the browsers in HTML5 standard). The former formats require the setup of plugins not supported by some browsers for security reasons. For more details on the Multimedia control in a WEBDEV site, see The Multimedia control (WEBDEV).
