The native mobile players you already use, with a sprinkle of Mux
Mux has released its video player for iOS and Android in beta, following the successful launch of its web-based version. The company intentionally delayed building a player until it developed analytics (Mux Data) and video hosting/delivery services (Mux Video). The new mobile SDKs are designed to be straightforward and easy to implement, with no additional learning required for developers familiar with native mobile players like AVPlayer or ExoPlayer. Currently, the Mux Player automatically configures basic Mux Data features without requiring extra steps from users. In the future, Mux plans to add more functionality to address common mobile playback issues and improve user experience while balancing complexity and cost.
