VLC may gain a new feature. Free, but with ads
VLC media player may gain a new feature of free access to streaming TV channels (FAST). In exchange for no fees, there will be advertising.
VLC is a popular multimedia player that allows you to watch videos available locally or online. However, the app may soon gain functionality by giving access to free, ad-supported streaming TV channels (FAST). President of the organization VideoLAN he said he was considering introducing such a possibility, as well other online media supported by advertising” to VLC.
People, especially the younger generation, expect streaming.
– said Jean-Baptiste Kempf, president of VideoLAN
However, a representative of the organization behind the VLC player warned that plans to introduce free ad-supported channels to it have not yet been finalized. However, even if the new feature was implemented, it would be optional for users.
However, this does not change the fact that FAST channel support could be an interesting addition to VLC Media Player. The app is already a versatile media player with tons of features, so access to a bundle of free ad-supported channels will set it apart from competing players. We are also counting on more add-ons focusing on local or network media playback.
