Instant Video Streaming

Videos start playing right away and adapt to your connection — no waiting for a download or a pre-transcode.

A video streaming instantly in the Gallery player

Press play, watch now

Tap a video and it starts immediately. Instead of downloading the whole file first or waiting for a background transcode to finish, Gallery streams it on the fly and picks a quality that matches your connection — smooth on a phone over cellular, crisp on a laptop over fibre.

Skip ahead, scrub back, or jump to a higher quality and playback keeps up, even on large 4K clips. No spinner, no "processing" — just your video.
