To change the default video player on your Android device, you can follow these steps:
1. First, locate and tap on the gear icon on your home screen to open the Settings menu. This icon is usually labeled as “Settings” or represented by a gear icon.
2. In the Settings menu, scroll through the list of categories until you find one labeled “Apps” or “Applications.” The exact name may vary depending on your device and Android version.
3. Tap on the “Apps” or “Applications” category to open the list of installed apps on your device.
4. In the list of apps, scroll through and locate the current default video player that you want to reset. It may be named differently depending on the device and apps installed, but common names include “Video Player,” “Gallery,” or the name of a specific video player app.
5. Once you find the default video player, tap on it to open its settings and information page.
6. On the app settings page, look for an option called “Clear defaults” or “Reset defaults.” This option allows you to reset the app as the default video player.
7. Tap on the “Clear defaults” or “Reset defaults” option, and you will receive a confirmation prompt. Confirm your action by tapping “OK” or “Yes.”
8. After resetting the default video player, you can now choose a new default video player. Whenever you open a video file, you will be prompted to select a video player from a list of installed apps. Choose the desired video player app and tick the box that says “Always” or “Set as default” to make it the new default player.
Remember that the steps provided may vary slightly depending on your device’s manufacturer, Android version, and custom user interface. However, the general process should be similar across most Android devices.
By following these steps, you should be able to reset your default video player on your Android device and choose a new one to use for playing your videos.
