How to play multiple videos at once on iPhone or iPad
Put 2 to 36 videos into one portrait or landscape layout, then play, pause, seek, mute, or switch them without moving between separate players.
Quick answer
Open Split Screen Player, choose a layout for the number and orientation of videos you want, and add one source to each region. The bottom toolbar can then control every compatible video together. You can start with two videos and expand the same workflow to a dense iPad layout.
Step by step
Put 2 to 36 videos into one portrait or landscape layout, then play, pause, seek, mute, or switch them without moving between separate players.
Add a source to each region
Choose individual files, an album, folder, playlist, bookmark, stream, image, PDF, web page, or music source for the active region.
Control the videos together
Use global play, pause, progress, mute, speed, frame stepping, or next-video actions from the bottom toolbar.
Save the workspace
Create a bookmark to restore the selected sources, layout, playback positions, and sync settings later.
Make it work better
Small choices make a clearer workspace.
Match the layout to the source
Portrait clips are easier to read in vertical regions; landscape clips need wider regions or a landscape device orientation.
Start with reasonable resolution
The number of smooth simultaneous streams depends on the device, codec, resolution, frame rate, and network quality.
Use iPad for dense monitoring
The same controls work on iPhone, but a larger iPad canvas makes layouts with many small regions easier to inspect.
