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. Gallery streams it on the fly instead of downloading the whole file first or waiting on a background transcode, and picks a quality that matches your connection: lighter 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, 4K clips included. No spinner, no "processing".

Ready to run Gallery on your own server? The install takes about five minutes.
