Nowadays, Android devices are becoming increasingly mature, and the number of Android users is also increasing rapidly. However, many people find that WMV files cannot be played or recognized on Android devices. What should we do when we encounter such an error? Don’t worry. This article recommends an all-in-one tool to show you how to play WMV files on Android devices.
I am afraid that many people have encountered the above problem. The native Android player supports playing WMV files, and you can check from the official Android website that WMV is not listed in the supported formats. Besides installing a specific video codec on your Android device, you can also convert WMV files to Android-supported formats via a desktop program in just three steps.
