VLC media player was banned earlier this year owing to security concerns

VLC media player is back again. The Ministry of Electronics and IT earlier this year banned the website owing to security concerns.

VideoLan, the parent company, received notice regarding the ban of its app and website in India in February 2022. In September, the company sent a legal notice seeking to know the reasons behind the ban.

According to reports, the Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) extended legal support to VideoLAN in this matter.

Users can now download the VLC Media Player through the official app stores of Google, Apple, and Microsoft or the official website.
