The VLC media player is considered one of the most popular multiplatform media players. Now an update has been released that offers full support for M1 Macs.
The VLC media player has received an update that offers full support for Apple's M1 Macs. This means that users can now expect the maximum performance of M1 Macs when using the VLC media player. If an app is adapted for Apple's M1 Macs, this means that users receive all the benefits of the new hardware. This means that in addition to performance, energy efficiency is also significantly improved. In version 3.0.12, the VLC media player has full support for Apple Silicon chips.
VLC: M1 Macs require version 3.0.12.1
In addition, the update also brings improvements for macOS Big Sur, a fix for audio distortion and adaptive streaming resolution, and security improvements. Unfortunately, VLC is not yet offered with a universal binary, which means that the app now has two different versions: one for Intel Macs and one for M1 Macs. Once users have updated the VLC app for macOS to version 3.0.12, they will need to check for updates again and install version 3.0.12.1 - which is compiled specifically for ARM devices. The VLC media player is free available. Users can download the app from the official VideoLAN website. If you want the iOS version, you can find the application in the iOS App Store.
