Elmedia Player is a freemium media player developed by Electronic Team, Inc.[4] Founded in 2000 as an alternative to QuickTime, it is offered for the macOS operation system.[5] According to the company, the software has 1 million users as of August 2017.[6]

Its developer, formerly known as Eltima Software, was founded in 2000 and based in US.[7]

On October 19, 2017, the free version of the media player was reported to have contained a malware trojan due to a security breach.[8] Vice reported that nearly 1,000 users downloaded compromised files.[9] Within a short time, the developers stopped the spread of this malware successfully.

Elmedia is capable of playing the following formats:

In the July 2023 update, the developers integrated support for H.266/VVC standard, allowing VVC playback up to 8K.[12]

Elmedia Player also allows streaming to Chromecast, Smart TVs, Apple TV, Airplay, and DLNA-compatible devices [13] as well as mirroring iPhone/iPad screens.[14]
