Hello,
Hello everyone,
I would like to be able to watch 2 videos simultaneously with VLC but to be able to perform play/pause etc. (so all VLC commands) simultaneously on both videos, meaning if I press play, both videos start, if I press pause, both videos pause at the same time, etc.
Is this possible? If so, how?
Thank you

    Hi service_DEV

    Yes, it is possible to control two videos at the same time with VLC.

    Open VLC -> Media -> Open multiple files or for older versions of VLC 'Open a file in advanced mode'

    In the 'File' tab:

    1. Click [Add] and select the first video.

    2. At the bottom left, check 'Show more options' and then check 'Play in sync with another media'

    3. Click on 'Browse' then [Add] and select the second video and confirm with the [Select] button.

    4. Finally, click the [Play] button to start playing both videos.

    The simultaneous control will then be from the first opened video, as the second one will not have control bars.
