How to Install and Launch Samsung Video Player
This built-in video player by the South Korean conglomerate comes with quite a few nifty features. Moreover, whenever you play a video, the device will automatically launch this video player [unless you have manually changed the default video player]. But what if you wish to launch the video player when a video isn’t being played? Since the app doesn’t have its icon, you wouldn’t be able to do so from its app drawer. But fret not. There still exists a nifty workaround that will help you get this job done with ease. So without any further ado, let’s check out how this could be carried out.
How to Install and Launch Samsung Video Player
Almost all Samsung devices come pre-installed with the Video Player. But still, let’s verify it once, and if it’s not there, we will first install it and then list the steps to launch it. Follow along.
- Head over to Settings > Apps > tap on the downward arrow at the top right.
- Then enable Show System Apps. Now search for Video Player and see if it’s installed or not.
- If it’s not there, then install it from the Galaxy Store or a third-party site .
- Now download and install Activity Launcher . Launch it, search for Video Player, and select it.
- Then select Movie Player and select Launch Activity to open it.
- You may also tap on Create Shortcut and place it on the home screen so that from the next time onwards, you can easily launch it from that shortcut instead of using the Activity Launcher.
