Playing videos from local storage
You can play videos from VIVE Flow local storage through VIVEPORT Video, which supports
playback of standard (or flat), stereoscopic 3D, and 180- or 360-degree videos. Supported file
formats include: .mp4, .mkv, and .webm.
The VIVEPORT Video app on VIVE Flow can be used to play videos from local storage. You can
add videos to local storage manually by copying them from your computer to VIVE Flow. For
details, see Copying files from your computer to VIVE Flow on page 26.

select Back to Home.
2. From Home, go to the Library and launch VIVEPORT Video.
If you don't see VIVEPORT Video in the Library, you'll have to download and install it using

in a 180- or 360-degree view, on a curved or flat display, and more.
§ Add subtitles by selecting Select Audio and Subtitles (the message icon with 3
dots) below the playback controls and choosing a subtitle file associated with the
video.
