Watching videos in the Movies application

Use the Movies application to play movies and other video content that you’ve saved or

downloaded to your device. The Movies application also helps you get poster art, plot

summaries, genre info, and director details for each movie. You can also play your

movies on other devices that are connected to the same network.

Videos taken with your device's camera are displayed in the Album application, not in the

Movies application.

Some video files may not be playable in the Movies application.
