VLC 3.0.12 comes with a version ready for Mac M1 (and all future Macs with Apple Silicon chips).
Having a Mac application compatible with the Apple Silicon platform means that the software can take full advantage of the new hardware with faster performance and better power efficiency, which is ideal for MacBook users. Users can now enjoy VLC running at peak performance on Apple Silicon Macs. VLC is one of the most popular cross-platform media players, and its macOS version is getting a major update today with full support for Mac M1s.
