does compose multiplatform has Videoplayer?

No, but I think adding a KMP library for it maybe. You can do expect actual.
iOS, use AVPlayer with kotlin interop. Android use androidx exoplayer. Desktop use vlcj library. For wasm not sure yet :grin:

This <https://github.com/SEAbdulbasit/MusicApp-KMP/blob/master/shared/src/iosMain/kotlin/com/example/musicapp_kmp/player/MediaPlayerController.kt|MediaPlayerController.kt> demonstrates Kotlin Interoperability with the iOS native `AVPlayer`.
It’s also possible to use existing iOS `UIView` within Compose tree using `UIKitView` as this <https://proandroiddev.com/unifying-video-players-compose-multiplatform-for-ios-android-desktop-aa920d29bbf3|blogpost> demonstrates.

I think compose multiplatform should have videoplayer composeview natively without using expect/actual.

I’m not sure it does, unless someone has made a module

<@U05MAUMSUBS> I disagree, not compose multiplatforms job to provide video player imo. However I think community should strive more stop re-invent the wheel everytime and start doing open source libraries we can share. Maybe however I thikn CMP should provide a way of reference a video file, that can be used, like streams, uris, urls, local file etc.
There is no way for compose doing this natively, as not even OS:es itself has it. I mean like Android needs exoplayer library and desktop needs something like VLC :smile:
