Different Multimedia sources such as audio, video, pdf in your Web Applications are a powerful tool for making your application more informative and more attractive.
Video can be stored in your database, or you can use common online video sharing services. In this context, the GX Media Player Control will handle the different kinds of sources you could want to use.
GX Media Player is a GeneXus built-in control that is available in the toolbox.
